XOMichelle, part of coming to this country in good faith requires that one respect the laws of this country. By breaking the law simply by being here, these folks aren't showing that good faith and in my mind don't deserve an iota of support.

I agree that private charities shouldn't be regulated as to who they can serve. I do think, however, that social services ought to be limited to those who have a legal right to be here, pay taxes, etc.

What you are saying is that it's okay to strain the social services and criminal justice systems of our border states to the extreme so that we may have low prices for fruit.

Also, your proposition says nothing about the relaxation of immigration standards making it easy for anyone who wants to be a law abiding worker in America to be exactly that. If your argument has to rely on half-truth and deception to hold water, there's a good chance that it's entirely bogus.
