21:25 here. That's distorting the point. From looking at the cost of welfare, incarceration and education against the economic benefits provided to our society as a whole because of the spending and productivity of illegal immigrants, it's probably close to a wash whether it's economically costly or beneficial to deport them all.

You omit the cost that the executive order will have on future illegal immigration.    You are announcing to the world that yes, the U.S. has an immigration system set up which allows about 1 million people a year (far more from Mexico than any other country) to legally become US citizens.     But [b]if you come here illegally, we will never deport you, we will give you social benefits, and we will eventually give you citizenship[/b].

I wish that those in favor of immigration reform would just say that they really want to get rid of all immigration laws. [/quote]

That section I bolded is the bottom line.  What Obama will do is create a fluid or non-existent southern land border.  Perhaps the next step is to consult with Mexico and develope an agreement plus a process where the USA books flights or provides the ground transportation through Mexico.
