An illegal alien is an illegal alien. If they're so much as driving on my state's roads without paying the appropriate taxes, they are creating more problems than they're solving. Cheap labor is not that huge of a benefit considering what it costs society in the long run.

Right. I can feel the pain of people who are seeking a better life but a relaxed immigration policy isn't the answer. Many of these nations that these illegals come from have very strict immigration and visitation policies that preclude people being able to do in their country what has been done in ours.
Moreover, contrary to conventional wisdom, the browning of our society through immigration and illegal immigration doesn't lead to increased diversity and tolerance. Instead, it leads to increased racial tensions as the connection between economics and race is highlighted even more.
I can't say that I wouldn't try to be an illegal in America if I was desperate. But it stopped being a small, "oh, these people are seeking a better life and we should feel sorry for and cater to them...just think of little Elian Gonzalez" over a decade ago and over a million people ago.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
