What does smaller government have to do with having immigration laws just like every other country does? Free enterprise does not include illegal foreigners coming here at will to competer for jobs and resources against Americans nor should it.

Free enterprise is about letting the market take its course with minimal interference from the the government. An employer should be free to employ whom he wishes based on his business needs and negotiated wages and benefits for the employee. If a person can do the job, it doesn't matter if they're an American, Elbonian, or a Martian. What's ironic is this is essentially the situation we have today. I can go to any bigbox hardware store, pickup a crew, and pay them cash at the end of the day. If they have a problem, who are they going to complain to? The the U.S. squanders billions deporting people who've come here to work; I say we deport the deadbeats who would rather sit at home and collect unemployment.
As far as other nations have immigration laws, does that mean its OK? Other nations also severely restrict firearms and have nationalized health care. By the same logic these are OK for the U.S. too?
In the end, you are just another big government "conservative" who wants to use the power of the state to protect you from open competition  .

Free enterprise definitely in no way, accept illegal foreigners coming here to compete for jobs and businesses.
Our children, and their children, are deeply going to pay, for the mistakes and error in judgement, on the part of those who are suppose to serve it's citizens, American Citizens, or legal immigrants our Government.

It's our governent's fault for not enforcing our immigration laws like they should have and yet it is going to be us law abiding Americans that are going to go down with this sinking ship that they created.

Yes, there will be millions of new "illegal" immigrants, and their legal hispanic counterparts will vote democrat, and the democrat president will get in, and then feel obliged to let them all stay. But actually, there will be a lot more than 11-20 million "illegal" immigrants, because they have a provision allowing families to not be separated. So, every time a new illegal becomes legal (now, a much easier process) they will bring their entire family, including cousins, aunts, uncles, grand parents, etc. There will be tens of millions of people coming here. It will also be difficult to prove who is related, or not. --Think about the explosion of subsidies needed for such families funded by tax payers.
Keep in mind, there are not enough jobs for the people who are already here legally, and many of those jobs that are available, do not pay enough to live in the U.S.

For one -- no illegal doing the hard jobs for low pay will be doing those jobs once they are given their nice and easy US citizenship on a silver platter. They won't have to work the fields, clean houses, make beds for the elite -- nor can they if their elite masters don't want to start paying legal wages and overtime pay and other benefits.
Millions of new illegals would start coming to do the jobs that Americans and newly amnestied illegals think they're too good to have to do.
Many more than 11 million certainly are here and want social security checks and the other right of US citizenship which is the ability to sponsor all those loved ones they left behind. Many illegals have a large number of children back in their home country, children they could bring here to get Medicaid and food stamps. Most illegals have lots of siblings that would like the easy life here, and parents and grandparents who would enjoy a much more lavish government provided retirement here -- with disability checks, Section 8 housing, food stamps, Medicaid.

Which is why Obama quietly extended unemployment handouts well into the future before he started making his amnesty his biggest priority --- the unemployed are happy -- they can continue receiving checks for not working, and Obama can justify adding many millions of new workers to the labor pools.
And that's a very good point --- any document can be falsified in Mexico. Anyone can conveniently become a child, sibling or parent of an amnestied illegal. There would be no way to know if some "sibling" is really a neighbor or second cousin --- it will be very massive fraud just like last time.
And in the last amnesty, there were TEN times the number of illegals amnestied than were supposed to be amnestied -- precisely because so many made a run for the border to get in on it. There were an estimated 300,000 illegals then -- supposedly for many years but amnesty ended up given to over 3,000,000 -- most of them had never stepped foot in the USA before and came to get in on that fantastic deal.
