There are no (none / 0) (#50)

perfect numbers on undocumented vs documented vs naturalized citizens, and you make the perfect the enemy of the good here. I think you can assume that most non-citizens in the study are undocumented. Suit yourself.

You want to build walls; I want to build bridges.

There is absolutely nothing in the current economic situation that indicates that the US and Latin American economies will become less integrated. Closing borders might be possible for North Korea, but America is about the free flow of capital, ideas, people, labor, and it can be made rational. Reform immigration law, regulate the traffic as much as possible, and realize that immigrants from Mexico and Latin American are part of this nation's fabric. How long has it been since we annexed Texas and California anyway? 1845?

There is a vast difference between NO numbers and educated estimates based on research. And when the try and do a learned study about immigration and do not separate those who are here legally and those who do not, they make those who do the study, and those who try to use it look foolish.

And you continually make such wonderful comments as:

Sin is bad. Love is good, etc.

You know that when I say "close the borders" I mean stop the illegal influx of aliens into this country.

That has nothing to do with the free flow of capital, ideas, etc.
