And on WHAT basis do YOU think the Party Leadership OPPOSES "Illegal Immigration"?

I support Liberalizing the Immigration Process,
and and easy path to Documentation and Citizenship.

Illegal Immigration does INDEED "wreak havoc economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery of the rule of law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds alone"

Employers CAN hire undocumented ("illegal&quot Immigrants for MUCH cheaper wages than documented workers and citizens. The undocumented workers must tolerate Human Rights abuses and unsafe working conditions because they can NOT complain or report these abuses to the authorities.
This Drives DOWN wages and benefits for documented workers and citizens.

So what part of "wreaks havoc economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery of the rule of law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds alone"
do you disagree with?

Please be specific.
