Thanks, but actually my position on illegal immigrants has always been more laissez faire than otherwise. My mother's side all immigrated from the Emerald Isle, and my wife's side all immigrated as DP's after WWII from the smoking remains of Bosnia. In fact, my FIL never attained US citizenship, and having helped him through the incredible hassle of green card renewal shortly before his death, I can completely empathize with the complexity and crap required to follow the law.
