I'm all for LEGAL immigration. The thing that gets me is all the protests going on as if the people in support of tougher laws are somehow 'evil'. I read a NY Times article where they interviewed a protester and he entered the country illegally 22 years ago, but is now a citizen. He was quoted as saying, "...we just want to obey the laws, pay taxes, and raise our families, then they want to go and make these laws. It's time people knew how we felt." I don't think so, you can't break one huge law in order to follow others. What do you think would happen if I cheated on a test, got caught, and told my professor I did it all in the name of "graduating so I can support the economy and raise a family."? I would get laughed at. So why is it ok in this case? Is it just because 11 million others have broken the rules too?

Probably prices on goods and services, but we'll adjust, the same as when gas prices rise and fall.
