We may have to agree to disagree. I think that exercising strict control over our borders serves a very valid purpose. (By "strict control" I don't necessarily mean that nobody should ever be let in the country, but rather that nobody should be let in without permission from the government.)

Absolutely. I can understand why many people from other countries may want to move here, but I don't think that gives them a right to ignore any law that hinders their attempt to relocate. It's sort of like the breaking and entering example I brought up before. I can understand why a homeless person would want to get out of the cold and rain on a winter day, but that doesn't give him or her the right to break into someone's home in search of shelter.
I'd even consider some sort of temporary worker program if it was determined that it was truly necessary. But no person who is here illegally now or who had been caught here illegally in the past should be eligible, in my opinion.

I'm not too big a fan of corporations being involved in the affairs of the state. I don't like the idea of the state meddling in the affairs of corporations, either.
