My attitude about the issue began to change when I listened to a speech my Milton Friedman. His point, which is repeated on the board many times, is you can have open borders or you can have open welfare, but you can't have both.
This is all it comes down to in the grand scheme and looking at the bigger picture. It's why republicans are dreaming that if they go for amnesty, they'll get a voting bloc and everything will be fine for this country and it won't send us into financial ruin.
I feel for these children and illegal immigrants, I really do. But their presence in our country with the welfare system being as it is right now is completely unacceptable. Socialism and open borders do not mix at all. Even socialistic European countries understand this and they protect their borders to the fullest extent.

I understand the frustration. It's disorderly. Unfortunately, that's what you get with most governments. They make laws and pick and choose what they enforce, and exempt themselves from a lot of them. They're not accountable to anyone, especially the bureaucracy.
