I believe that you're making a false assumption here. Giving current illegals citizen status will do nothing to stop the flow of illegals. Amnesty programs of the past have proved that several times now. People that are willing to work for low wages are going to continue to displace higher paid workers no matter what the minimum wage is. Like bush's Iraq policy, the solution to the problems of low-wage workers being exploited is not to allow more of them into the country, legally or otherwise.
You are correct Zee. I am assuming the border would be sealed after the amnesty program went into effect. If this is not the case, then making 12 million new citizens will only benefit the politicians who will court their vote.
