While you and I may agree on some, if not many, points, you'll forgive me if as long as "They're taking over our economy, diluting our culture, and taking our jobs, so they better show me their papers!" remains on the table, I'm going to remain pretty skeptical of the motivation and morality of any proposal that focuses on people who are already here and committing no other crime than working without papers. Like Seth Meyers said on Weekend Update, "Show me your papers" was pretty much the Nazis' catch phrase.
