#2A Neoliberal would say that students whose papers aren't in order cost the state $7.87b annually. A socialist of some stripe would say that those students provide an opportunity to invest $7.87b annually.

#5It's well-known to everyone who knows anything about the subject that undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than they consume in social services.

#7It all comes down to either you value each life equally or not. If yes then there should not be borders at all. Until this happens it's very unfair to encourage illegal immigration. If I break the law and rob a bank and give 1M dollars of stolen money to my kids, I will go to jail and 1M dollars will be taken away from my kids. I broke the law and kids should blame me for money taken away. This is no different with illegal immigration, if you come illegally and break the law you and your kids should be deported regardless if they were born in USA. This is only fair and kids should blame their parents not the country.

Your ignorance is the evidence. A valid social security number is required for filing taxes and receiving a tax refund. Instead, undocumented people pay taxes and pay for services Americans all use like Medicare and Social Security. Plus, they do jobs lazy Americans scoff at. Without undocumented immigrants, a steak at the supermarket would cost $200 and lettuce would be $20 per head. So take your thinly-veiled, provincial xenophobia, and shove it up your ignorant behind where it belongs.

#9This article should be flagged; it's alt-right, hate-mongering propaganda.

That's a false dichotomy followed by a false equivalency. Escaping certain death in Honduras to work as a bus-boy or entrepreneur creating 20 jobs isn't anything like robbing a bank. There is no process for waiting for bureacratic paperwork and understaffed consulates as one escapes a dangerous situation because American agribusiness encourages undocumented migration. In Mexico, the American meat-packing industry advertises wages in local newspapers to encourage people to migrate. Furthermore, only token raids happen near the five major meat-processing facilities because the corporations have a strong lobby.
Guest worker programs need to be readily-accessible.
If ICE/CBP really wanted to do their jobs, the State Dept would have sufficient capacity and outreach to process many more people however they come and reward people for becoming documented.
Criminalizing otherwise honest people escaping certain death or looking for seasonal work isn't either humane nor reflects well upon the country, it only benefits the corporate, for-profit prisons like NWDC run by companies like GEO Group.
