Your post is so 2000 or 2005. Illegal immigration peaked around 2000 or so. Net illegal immigration has been basically zero since the Great Recession.

Mass deportation of ALL illegal immigrants living here would be a costly endeavor so your concerns about costs are bogus.

There is as much water spilling out of the sink as the leaking faucet is spilling into it. Why is this a good thing?

I'm not sure what concerns about costs you're referring to. I agree that it's​ not be feasible to gather and deport all illegals in a short period of time. We shouldn't make it harder for DHS/ICE to do their jobs by implementing laws to protect illegal people.

Are most blacks against it? As a black here in Los Angeles I'm for it as most of my black friends and relatives. I can't think of one black person that I know of ever said they are competing with latinos or illegal immigrants for low-end jobs.

I can't think why people would be for it . Only reason I can think of is if they somehow benefit from the cheaper labor illegals provide . Own a business or hire household help?..

Other reason would be if they have lots of illegal relatives like Kevin De Leon .
