text: Illegal labor isn't cheap. There are too many costs to society. It's just shifting the costs.\n\nAs a conservative, I do not support illegal immigration, and am justly concerned that our government, which has the duty of maintaining the integrity of our borders, is failing so miserably.\n\nIf we need more immigration, LEGAL immigration, then our policies should have reflected that, with increased allowances for immigrants.\n\nBut this out of control situation is indefensible. If we need itinerant workers, then by all means let's set up a program. Then we could control entry, and eliminate the entry of criminals or people with diseases. And we need to eliminate the absurd concept that a child born here is automatically a citizen.\n\nNo, the government has no authority to disobey the laws of the land, and be negligent towards its duties. Time to stop the flood of illegals.
