They may be words but they are important. Here's an interesting idea. The children born to these illegal immigrants are legal citizens. Sooner or later they will be old enough to pay taxes themselves and have the opportunity to pay back the healthcare and education systems. There are countries who pay for thier entire populations healthcare. We can't do that because we pour so much money into other things like wars. I can't help but fixate on the horrible irony. A nation founded and built by immigrants trying to keep immigrants out. I don't think we should be concentrating on stopping immigration because like trying to stamp out drugs it'll never happen. What we should do is set up a program to help these immigrants a fair shot at citizenship and equal rights as such. I don't think they should be given special treatment or anything like that. They shouldn't recieve government benifits or anything like that. However, they are all just trying to find a better life for their families. I think they should at least have a chance at finding it. Trying to hold them back is just going to make things worse.
