I am a conservative voter from the state of Indiana and I take issue with the administration's policy for the following reasons:
1. People who break the law get a pass. I really don't care that there are 11 million+ of them. Where is the rule of law? Do we get to pick and choose what laws are convenient to obey? What message does this send to the counrty and the world? That American's are hypocrites who pick positions that are self serviing.
2. Illegal immigrants do jobs that Americans won't do- This argument serves those employers who also break the law. They get a below market labor cost that also drives down the wages for these jobs. The result is law abiding tax paying citizens find themselves turning down jobs because welfare pays better. The laws of supply and demand apply to labor just as surely as they do to the price of gasoline.
Let's quit glutting the labor market with lawbreakers.
3. Illegal immigrants contribute to our economy and tax base- Mexico's largest source of income is the money sent back by illegal immigrants in this country. These are dollars that don't buy American goods or services-they simply leave our economy. Most illegal immigrants already know how to play our tax system, so when they get a job they simply claim 10 or 12 dependents and have virually no tax deducted.

In summary we need to uphold the rule of law, employ low income citizens at livable wages and generate income that is spent in America and is taxed in America and stop employers from breaking the law of the land, The result of our failure to address this issue in a lawful, ethical manner will result in the breakdown of our system of laws ( illegal immigrants get to lie to the IRS and social security and get a pass while U.S. citizens who do this get sent to jail) and a complete loss of credibility in the world community. For evidence of this just look to how Iran mocks the USA
