Distinction without a difference. If we don't enforce our laws and encourage illegals to come here and abuse our policies, what is the God damned difference? You know better than that but won't admit it. That's fine.
Illegal immigration hurts working class Americans. Wages are depressed, how could they not be? Millions of off the books laborers do jobs that would otherwise be done by blue collar Americans. Less social services and resources go to where they are needed when they are diverted to the citizens of other countries and liberals wonder why there is income inequality. It is because of your policies you dunces.
