I have to say I'm with you on most of this.  I think we have no choice
but to close our borders.  I mean it bothers the living heck out of me
that things are so bad in a neighboring country that people will risk
their lives to get here and live illegally, but it's gotta stop.  There
are legal mechanisms for that.  Not to mention, people besides our
neighbors from next door can get in here just as easily - terrorists,
etc.,

I'm also for giving medical care to anybody who requires it.

I will say though, I'm on the fence about citizenship to those born
here to parents that broke the law to get here to begin with.  At the
same time, I don't want children to be without a country.  That's a
hard one.  A lot of people come here illegally just to have their
children and that's a major problem.

I don't have an answer for that one.
