Entering the country is a crime. Being in the country is not. Sorry. That's
just how it is. I'm against illegal immigration too, dude, I'm not arguing
that with you. Just sayin', there's no point in talking about arresting and
jailing millions of people because millions of them just plain aren't
committing a crime. Plus it would be expensive. A lot more expensive than
jailing the employers. And if the employers were in jail, the illegals would
go home. (They wouldn't have jobs, see.)

And pssst.. calling them "invaders" doesn't help your cause or mine. It
makes us sound like racists.
