Well, surely if they were legalised, they'd have to contribute something towards their healthcare and education, via taxes? At the moment, you're getting the worst of both worlds. And, Steeljack, if all 11,500,000 (or whatever the figure is) illegals were deported, are there really enough indigenous workers who will happily become waiters, dishwashers, maids, gardeners and parking lot attendants? I must admit, I don't know the US unemployment figures, so perhaps there are.
Most important of all though, Ianto, if myself and Mrs H ever drop round to your place for chilled merlot and vol au vonts, whatever you do, don't call her a "wetback". The last person who did that in a pub in Manchester a few years ago was treated to a formidable display of Latin temperament!
