This is idiotic. Of course it's a negative. The immigrants aren't vetted, may carry 3rd world country diseases, etc.....The reasons are numerous why ILLEGAL immigration is a negative. Now, one can argue that we should change our LEGAL immigration laws such that more from 3rd world countries get in that way but that's another discussion. But that's the discussion that congress should be having, not how many illegals a day are acceptable which is the current discussion. We are a nation of borders and laws and those should both be respected.
