"NumbersUSA, a Virginia-based group that supports reducing immigration to the U.S., says granting legal status to illegal immigrants will only perpetuate the problem. 'It's about enforcing the laws we have and changing the perception that if you can find a way to get here that eventually you can get citizenship,' said NumbersUSA spokeswoman Caroline Espinosa. 'If we keep giving people who break the law to get here what they want then why would they stop?'"
