^ I agree too. In the end, it would cost more economically to keep us here without work permits than to just give us the rights to earn money and pay taxes legally. Also, wouldn't anyone who turn themselves in to get deported would still have to be detained? I'm just wondering because I also read a statistic (http://seatoshiningsea.wordpress.com...migrant-12500/) of how much it cost for US to deport one immigrant. I'm sure there's a better alternative.
