I understand that this is going to cause some problems. But as many as are out of work, there are just that many more who are working hard to get ahead. And they are already here so why not give them some sort of status so that we can collect taxes from them, we can account for them when a census is due, we can know who is in the country and who isn't. There are people from all over the world who come to this country and then just "disappear". They find jobs, get married, and have children. They spend their money here.

If you are here illegally and have been working here for 5 years, paying taxes, and trying to become a part of the community, why not make it legal? I would prefer that rather than having to spend the money to deport illegals all of the time we make them citizens or at least document them so that we know who is in this country.
