Please understand that I don't have any sort of personal vendetta against non-citizen residents or guests of the United States.
@ Kelu: Personally, I think that you ARE home, and I don't want to send you back to the country from whence you came.
@ Ironbear: Same goes for your fair bride.
That's my personal feeling on the topic, and there are others, I'm sure, that would get the same feeling from me.
That said, I stand by my previous statement. Please allow me to give some further explanation. I'm not going to go into full detail; partly because I'm on a smartphone, with half my screen taken up by virtual keyboard, and partly because my stance on the topic is part of a book that I am planning to write. So, forgive me if the explanation seems a little incomplete.
When I consider matters of politics, law, right & wrong, etc., I set my personal feelings, my emotions, aside. I tend to look at things in a very black and white way. It has been my observation that anything can be justified in "grey areas". (Likely, this way of viewing things had something to do with one of my ex-girlfriends describing me as "an emotionless husk")
As I originally pointed out, national security is part of my reasoning behind this stance. Another part is economic. According to Google, we are currently in excess of 19 trillion dollars in debt, as a nation. We can't afford to do anything. We do not need foriegn students. We don't need foriegn workers. (We do need Americans to step up to do these jobs, though. But, that's a different topic.)
If we allow some to stay and make some go, we then need to create standards to determine who stays and who goes. Of course, that should be done, anyway, when the time comes to start allowing folks back. Once those standards are set, then government employees will be needed to screen every individual person. Those employees will require payment for services rendered. Seeing as the national bank account is more than $19 trillion overdrawn, the country cannot afford to pay government employees for that particular service. Indeed, other services must also be cut, but again, that's another discussion.
I am well aware that some desirable people would be sent away. I know that we, as a country, would lose folks that are far more deserving of the American Dream that a lot of the folks that would get to stay. But, this way is simple. We really can't afford the luxury of complexity, anymore.
I will add, however, that it would be very unjust to send folks away who have already started the legal process of obtaining citizenship. Time, effort, and finance has been invested by those folks, and they should be allowed to go on and finish the process.
I mean no offense; my view is held solely for pragmatic reasons, with no malice intended. And, since I have absolutely zero legislators banging on my door, demanding to receive my legal opinions, in order to propose law, I highly doubt that my opinions in this matter will ever amount to more than part of a book that I might write, that probably won't be read my many people, and then be written off as some fringe thing, anyway. So try not to be too angry with me

This is with the design of the houses being more complicated, & steeper roofs being more prevalent today. What drove all those prices down...? Cheap labor. Mostly illegal immigrants.
