Immigration reform possible in the fall

Immigration has been a contentious issue for the past few years but has been on the back burner since the meltdown happened.  It looks like this autumn, we could see some real immigration reform, including a path for illegals to become legals, which I support.

At this point, there are probably a majority of Americans who agree with Lou Dobbs and would like to send every illegal back home.  But that is not logistically feasible, and even if it were, it would be very expensive both in the cost of rounding everyone up and shipping them out, and also in lost revenues that we get from their work.  A better solution is to have them pay some kind of tax and then get to the back of the line.
