Anybody can enter the country, as a tourist. But they can't get a job without working papers (given only to foreigners with vital skills) or collect government welfare services. Let them come and spend money, or let their relatives or charities support them. This way if they apply for citizenship we have plenty of time to vet them. If they want to apply for residency or working papers or citizenship they have to register as resident aliens which means we can keep track of them, PRESTO, THEY ARE NO LONGER ILLEGAL. The reason they don't do this now is because the immigration system is broken (deliberately, I might add, by the GOP) but they can still get an illegal job easily. When the bipartisan Gang of Eight in Congress put forth their proposals to reform Immigration it was shot down by the Tea Party and the Chamber of Commerce. Don't you see what a scam the whole system is? Its been put together that way deliberately.

Getting government assistance without being a legal alien is very difficult, but the business community really wants this, even though they complain all the time how they don't. Just think, you can hire seasonal illegals to do a job, or during the agricultural season, and then they go on welfare at public expense until you need them again! You can afford to pay them even less, because their meager income is now supplemented with food stamps and other benefits. They don't have to go back to Mexico during the off-season. It is a fucking racket designed to provide slave labor for American Capital.

And relax, to collect welfare you would have to be a citizen. Don't worry, Rob, all those brown people aren't coming here just so they can steal from white folks. They're coming here so we can steal from them; to do all those jobs "Americans refuse to do".
