-What's to stop them from wanting it or getting it? There is a big difference between people already here and people who may want to come here in the future.

*Yes, when you dont stop them it DOES encourage others.

"Do we not, as a nation of laws, have the right to determine who,what, and how many foreigners that we allow into this country?"

-We do have that right, and we chose to allow a ton of people in. Now people want to throw them out to get a sense of revenge instead of looking at it from a practical perspective.

*No! We did not ALLOW them in. They snuck in. And it is PRECISELY that practical perspectic that makes us want them to leave!

"We allow well over a million people per year to become residents legally, that is a major city per year...when is enough?"

-When the market says it's enough, or are you in favor of letting big government over regulate the labor market?
*The market will NEVER say it has enough cheap labor and will as long as the supply of low wage earning continues to flood the market it will exert downward pressure on wages. As long as Mexican wages are lower than American, there will be a supply.

I have yet to see you question one other facet of government control over business why start here?
