Particularly here in America, this kind of attitude is immoral and illogical. Everyone who isn't a full-blooded native here is either an immigrant themselves, or descended from immigrants. It makes sense to want conditions set upon immigration... but if "illegal immigrants" are a problem, then we need to start looking at better ways to streamline the process of people earning legal status here. Remember, immigrants to this country (legal or otherwise) are those who had the courage, the determination, and the ambition to leave their world behind in the pursuit of something better, and frankly, America would benefit from more people with that kind of energy walking around.
