It seems to me that many of the arguments people bring up to justify paying illegal immigrants are the same types of arguments people used to justify slavery. The economy would collapse without slavery, slaves do jobs that white people wouldn't do, etc.

But we also argue they should have an equal stake in our economy and should have the same rights as any citizen should have due to the hard work they've demonstrated while coming here. I personally, argue for an open border and a united economic structure with Canada and maybe Mexico structured in an EU-like manner attracting lesser democracies to reshape themselves for entrance and strengthening the American economy and global economy as a whole. I think that something of that sort should also have standardized labor laws protecting those within the union..

My point however, is that we do argue they should be treated like any other citizen -something far different from your connection with the slavery argument...
