I agree, there should be consequences for illegal immigration. I also think that we should put countermeasures in place to help reduce the amount of illegal immigrants coming into the country.

Depending on the country people are coming from, there is no way for them to legally immigrant to America. This is because it may be illegal all together for them to flee, but what if they feel they need to immigrate because where they are living is unsafe? I understand where you are coming from by saying it could devalue the hard work of American citizens, but I think we should be more concerned with the safety of people in general.

I Completely agree with you. Just like our personal homes have borders and we have complete control of who comes in and out of them, our country needs to have strong borders and complete control of who comes in and out so we keep out bad people and ensure we have a sovereign and prosperous nation with a vetting process so we only let in good productive people that would be good for our country.
