Gladly.
I wouldn't say that I think it's ok to be here illegally. I would say I don't think it should be illegal for an otherwise law abiding person to be here at all.
Assuming all of your figures are accurate and I had some kind of authority to act on both the state and federal level, I would start by repealing the Arizona law. I would then work on a Federal law that would bring about the policy of amnesty for illegal immigrants in the United States from Latin America.
I would have a public awareness campaign in the border states and wherever it was relevant to assure illegals that they were no longer being hunted down, and I would direct the INS to begin the practice of granting either green cards or some new system of legal residence to former illegals. Citizenship tests would also be offered to those that desired them. Of course all attempts would be made to establish the individual's criminal record or lack thereof before granting any of these things.
Thank God you are a very small minority in this country. :roll:
