I'm pretty liberal, but I have to agree with Jeff's assessment.
I would go one better: for those can sneak over to whelp an 'anchor baby': the baby can stay (that's the current rule), but the parents have to go home. If they want to have Junior apply to get his parents into the country when he turns 18, by all means, have at it - but not until then.
