Why should there be any change whatsoever to the existing law which is not being enforced? How big would the problem be if the law were enforced instead of looking the other way or ignoring it in it's entirety?
Why are the immigration laws treated differently at our southern border than they are at the north, east and western borders?
Why are the visas not enforced as they are for many of our neighbors here in TV from Canada and other countries?
Just to iterate a few of the many questions that remain unanswered.
This subject just like the ACA was unpopular with and not supported overwhelmingly by the American public by landslide magnitude numbers, yet our law makers (our representatives?) go forth and implement anyway.
Just how is that allowed to happen in a democratic society made up of we the people and the representatives are elected to serve and represent we the people?
No I do not buy into being limited to address compassion which may or may not be warranted. Where has the cry for compassion been for the last 20 years?
As others have posted above where is the cry for compassion for those born here or here legally that have the same or worse needs?
And to ignore the issue of compassion for our veterens with all the health care issues, non care, homeless, living in the streets, unemplyed.....and on and on.
No more compassion from me than I have been asked to provide the same folks for the last 20 years. No compassion from me until I see that American and legalized citizens (one in the same!) of the USA are taken care of first.
Like very many things needed today....compassion begins at home.
I don't think I would get too much back lash from those in the church audience.
We know that one of the issues that sets our southern input aside and different from the other borders is there are so many million already here!
We also know that as this population matures, has children and they have children.....some will obviously become citizens by the existing laws and hence will become voters!!!! (a subject for a political forum....somewhere!)

Good post. Just add my thinking...this need to try and make everyone feel guilty in the name of an agenda is finally beginning to wear thin in this country. Maybe people will begin to weigh long term ramifications instead of short term agenda gains.
