  CMIW but- Don’t they have to in order to claim asylum or whatever?
  I thought you couldn’t make such declarations from some home countries.
context: Like it or not, they are going to just show up at the border.  They've got nowhere better to go.  Hell, if I was in their place I'd show up at the border too. >
  
  so you want to bring them in just so they can do the jobs you don't want to in order to keep your standard of living? >
  
  I do, but I want it as part of reform. Those undocumented migrants are incredibly vulnerable to abuse and other things. 
  Let's figure out how to process them legally on agricultural visas and bring them in. This would require us to greatly increase the number of those visas.
  If there is domestic competition for jobs let them petition to lower the number, but let's also start heavily fining businesses who thwart restrictions. 
  It's a little different for true refugees though which is the OP.
