No, we should let a large percentage of them immigrate legally. Incidentally, allowing immigrants to enter the United States from countries that are "worse than ours" has been a hallmark throughout U.S. history.

We don't turn a blind eye. Actually, we try to stop them from crossing the border. It's just a colossally difficult (read: expensive) task, and we're doing a crappy job of it. There's also the issue that approximately 1/2 of all illegal residents crossed the border legally.

Yeah, tell me how that goes. You'll be stuck doing manual labor and subsisting on emergency room medical care. Preventative care? What's that? Social security? What's that? Access to the justice system? What's that?
