But my relatives did it legally and I believe we should be open to legal immigration.
Secure the borders and have a rational, humane, legal immigration policy.

Minus the illegal Mexicans and a few Haitians in south florida, I would bet less than .005% of the people in this country are here with out proper documents. The only place for people to get in illegally is at the mexican border. Such comments out of ones ass as the basis of their argument that most of our ancestors are illegals is ignorant. Doubt there are stats out there but over the last 200 years or so I doubt we've had many stow aways on ships enter the country. Ellis island was there for a reason and people used it, came here and followed the immigration laws, took classes to learn our language and history, and had to pass tests to become a citizen. Now all they need is to hide in the back of a van with 20 other people, cross the border without getting killed and we take them in, WTF!!!!
