Makes sense to me. Laws mean nothing unless they are enforced period! WE have enough already...
Lots of people would like to imagine that being here illegally is a felony. It's an 'administrative violation' like speeding.

Yes, enforcement is good, but what the noisiest anti-immigrant people really need to do first is make it a significant crime to be here without documentation. Then, and only then, will enforcement be meaningful.

'Illegals' cannot get social security payments. Further, many are using other peoples' social security numbers when they work, so the social security system is getting net money in.

As for the cost of illegals, there's not much actual cost there, according to studies that are not politically based. For instance, they are 1/20th as likely to use emergency rooms as US citizens are.

The anti-immigrant hysteria is just a big distraction from far more significant problems.
