Some four million people entered the USA last year with no passports and none of them could speak English. It will take 20 years or more of continuous investment before many of them will even consider holding down a job. Most people are in favor of this. We call those 4,000,000 new-arrivals babies. Most immigrants are the same, except they have passports, some English and can be ecconomically productive in days or weeks. Why the big discrepency in treatment?
