"Wrong, the problems are NOT just illegal status. They are overcrowded schools, prisons, emergency rooms, uninsured motorists, gangs, etc. all of which are made far far worse by those who are here illegally. Changing their alienship status will not make those problems "go away". Rather they will make them even worse."

1) overcrowded schools/prisons - overcrowding can be relieved by increasing funding, if you have more money you can build more classrooms/cells, funding for these types of institutions come from taxes (and correct me if I'm wrong but most of that funding is from income taxes) which illegal immigrants don't pay. Legalizing these immigrants would force them to pay income taxes would increase funding for schools/prisons, allowing them to exapland and ease overcrowding.

2) overcrowded emergency rooms - People without insurance are more likely to use emergency services. Most people in this country can't afford insurance without employer help. If you legalize these immigrants they can get jobs with insurance and will be less likely to use emergency rooms.

3) Uninsured motorists - If you're here illegally you can't buy insurance, if you legalize these people they can and will (how many legal immigrants drive without insurance?) get insurance and there will be less uninsured motorists.

4) Gangs - People are more likely to join gangs when they are poor and/or can't get jobs, legalizing these people will give them a better chance at getting an acutal job and make joining gangs less appealing.

Tell me where I'm wrong, because it seems to me that all of the problems you listed would actually be helped by legalizing illegal immigrants.
