Education Reform?
What's wrong with the system right now?
JUST ENFORCE THE LAW!!! Which is already the most liberal immigration law in the WORLD!
So often, we get caught up in a debate over political semantics and end up ignoring the hard-shell realities of what we're talking about.
According to Immigrationcounters.com here are some of the realities that the immigration bill would airbrush out of the picture:

Figures can trick your eyes. Take particular note that items 2,3,5 and 7 reflect BILLIONS not millions of dollars-- and that item 3 exceeds one-third of a TRILLION dollars.
Can you imagine how much it will cost taxpayers if we triple the number of Illegals entering this country!! In addition, the $ 22 billion dollars that the illegals have sent back to Mexico is about 2% of their national GNP. Other words the illegals in the USA provides 2% of Mexico's income and that money does not include what we spend to support them in this country as indicated above. We have still spent the one-third of a TRILLION dollars for them.
