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.

This goes back to the same old question. Why should I have to pay more taxes to reward illegal behavior. The second part is yes by legalizing them they would have to pay taxes. Who hires these people....the answer those who don't want to pay at least minimum wage. If they are citizens then they have to get paid the minimum therefore wouldn't have the same jobs they have now because their previous employers will go out and find cheaper labor. Do you not see this? Are you that naive?

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.

You can legalize them but who is going to hire and uneducated worker and pay them insurence. They would still use the 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.

How are they going to pay for insurance if they don't have a job. They figure I believe that 1-4 people in phoenix are driving without insurance. I can't remember the breakdown for illegals only.

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.

Again being naive. Do you really think legalizing the illegals is going to stop the gang problem.

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.
