As a country we have to make being illegal so painful that no one will want to be in that position.
And how do we verify that without becoming a paper's please society, and at what point do we draw the line for what is defined as a service? Is getting a DL a service? Getting on public transportation? Using the public pool? Welfare?

I agree that services should only be available to people who are here legally and are paying taxes. I'm just not sure of how we can get there without turning the country into the very thing a lot of us are fighting against.
