So why are so many Americans working so hard at trying to figure out how to deal with "ILLEGAL" immigrants?
So why all the duress over an issue that already has a solution? Because of the politics!! It is as simple as that. This is what we get when it becomes questionable whether to do what is right.
Follow the law like those coming across all our other borders. Just like we all have to do when we go to Mexico or any other civilized country.
Is it any wonder why other countries are always ready to try us on? When they see the law is applied sometimes and other times not.
Totally ridiculous side stepping the real underlying issues for the sake of a few spine less politicians.

This is a convenient fantasy. We are talking about over 11 million people here. The effort to root them out and deport them all would be the most disruptive, costly disaster you could imagine. And because it would rip families and communities apart it would the 21st century version of the Civil War.
And btw ... that guy you detest, who has shown absolutely no leadership and has yet to do one constructive thing... he has presided over the deportation of almost 300,000 illegal immigrants in the last three years, far more than any previous President in history.
