It's clear that our politiicans have made a mess out of another relatively simple thing. (1) Statue of Liberty sets the policy. (2) No social benefits for immigrants. It was that way before and it ensured that only the properly motivated came here. Clearly, there's a reasonable exception for emergency care, but that should be minimal. And, possibly billable. [How do other countries deal with traveling Americans?] (3) Then we need to dismantle the underground economy of "day laborers" with respect to taxes. Seems fair to me?
