I’m glad to learn that illegal immigrants commit less crime (if that’s what the study shows - who knows), if only because committing less crime is a good thing.

But it doesn’t change my opposition to illegal immigration, and I don’t see why it would. I don’t care if it’s a million Catholic nuns coming in illegally every year; I’m against a million _anythings_ entering illegally.
