I'm... baffled. If the legal help results in individuals staying in
the United States, their presence in the United States was ipso facto
legal. "Legal" is not a result of the government's assertion that an
act is legal or illegal; it's a result of the final adjudication of
the matter. That's the reason we have an independent judiciary.

Why not do anything to prevent companies from exploiting illegal
laborers? How many businesses were shut down this year because of
their use of illegal labor. Hint: the number is zero.

In what way, Donovan, does a Mexican consulate identification card
help a Mexican citizen obtain services otherwise unavailable to them?
You keep asserting that Point A is connected to Point B, but have
never drawn the line. I suspect that that's because there's no line to
be drawn.
