The net they cast is much too large and most everyone caught in it is harmed by the experience, for many it is multi generational harm.
As long as there are jobs out there that we can justify bringing illegals into the country because "Americans will not do them"...I cannot imagine an aid program for able-bodied Americans to do anything but make the problem worse.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
