text: There are no pros in illegal immigration.  It doesnt benefit anyone. Those coming in are always on the run, looking over their shoulder, waiting for the INS to come break in their door. They cant legaly get health care, affordable housing, or protection under the law. As for the legal citizens, we have to take up the extra burden of higher taxes, we have to absorb the cost of funding the free clinics that the illegal's have to use, and there is the problem of drug use, gangs, and additional police presence and border patrol personnel. I'm certainly not suggesting all illegal immigrants are bad people. Most are not. And I agree that the immigration process sucks, and it needs to be redone in a big way. I dont think the answer is just saying the hell with it, and jumping the fence though.
