While it's true that undocumented immigrants contribute to the economy, we must also consider the strain on public resources. For instance, in states with high illegal immigration rates like California, there's an increased demand for public services like healthcare and education, which can lead to budget deficits.

However, looking at it philosophically, we might question: is it fair to offer amnesty to those who have broken the laws of entry, while many others wait for years, following the legal path to immigration? Could this be seen as rewarding unlawful behavior?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. How do you propose we balance these ethical and economical considerations?

Public resources aren't strained by immigrants, they're strained by private capital-owners who siphon off a disgustingly disproportionate amount of our economic resources for their own personal, for-profit gain.

Why are we making people wait years just to immigrate in the first place? If anything, our "legal" immigration process is the one promoting "illegal" immigration methods. Decriminalize all immigration and this wouldn't be an issue to begin with.
