The number is less than 11 million and falling. I don't think it would be a bad idea to implement Reagan's plan - a path toward citizenship and a temporary worker's program, along with drastically increased penalties on businesses that hire illegal aliens.

This is not a crisis. Drugs and terrorists are not pouring through gaps in our southern defenses.
