OP, what do you mean by "illegals"? It seems to me that the people who claim asylum and are released into the country are not illegal. They are legal residents. The unaccompanied minors and others who are allowed to stay are also legal residents. And, those that are apprehended, but released by the Government without deportation, are legal residents. I think that anyone who is processed by the Government and allowed to stay is a legal resident. Also, if the Government passes a law to provide the 10-12 million estimated illegal residents a "pathway" to citizenship, then those people would immediately become legal residents because they could not be deported.
