The pros of illegal citizens are far outweighed by the cons. Not only are they costing working American citizens hard-earned money, but they are also taking advantage of the privileges that legal citizens receive while living in the United States. Ultimately, it is not fair that they should be afforded most of the same rights as those who live legally in the United States or those who have become legal citizens through the appropriate measures required. Of course, this is a big problem to solve and deporting them is not the best option because you would separate innocent children from their parents. This is a very controversial issue and can only be reconciled with adequate regulation and monitoring on our part
