Charles I agree with your sinking ship analogy, and no I don't think we should be sunk by illegals. But then again your grouping all illegals into one group. I think a larger portion of illegals are harder working, and better ppl then they are ever given credit for. That's not to say there's not a bunch of pos illegals as well, but as whole I'd better there's a lot more good than bad. I would be willing to say there's at least 4 times more deadweight legal "Americans" sinking this ship than there are illegals. So if we're throwing ppl overboard how about tossing all of the culls no matter what citizenship status they are overboard first.
j prince, i think i said that, but if not. that is what i meant to say. i dont care if your white, black asian, hispanic, legal or illegal. if you dead weight, then its time to cut bait. now as far as your theory of starting over, who will administer the tests, who will deem payment amount, are to allow the rich to administer the test and make up a price for entry? if we are to start over, then its every swinging richard, not just the poor or middle class, but ALL.
