The problem with having illegal immigrants isn't that they are taking jobs from us - they usually end up working in very low paying jobs - it is the strain they put on our welfare system and leap frogging to the front of the line because they are "refugees" is just sad.

At this time your 100 percent correct in that the individuals coming across are the less skilled workers and in the points system of immigration they would likely score low on the point count where as a more highly skilled individual scores higher but is currently prevented for coming over because of all the border jumpers that Justin is accepting. I'm sorry if I sound nasty but send them back to the country that they came from and tell them to follow the process.
