Actually, what it comes down to is recognizing that there is an economic niche for these people in our country's economy. They create wealth while they serve as the bottom labor force of the US. Many pay taxes (since they have fake identification), but do not use soical services because of fear. Trying to give them temporary status in this country delays a problem that ultimately has to be dealt with permanently.
The bill is not only ineffective at dealing with the real issue of having undocumented workers in the country, but it also serves to push more intolerance and prejudice into American society as well as edging away our civil liberties (like having to prove with documentation that you are a citizen if you are 100 miles from a border).
