[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand that it's frustrating that your family followed all the rules and now people who didn't will benefit nevertheless. That's not fair.

But I see this as an overall benefit to our society. We need to have these young people meaningfully integrated into our society. From a selfish perspective, there is no benefit to me if they are standing outside of Home Depot trying to get day laborer work. The US is fortunate that we have a younger population. For example, Japan, which has traditionally been hostile to immigrants, is facing a demographic crisis down the road because it is an aging society with fewer young people to work and pay taxes. We need these young people to succeed and thrive. It's good for [i]us[/i].

And in a way, young people who have worked hard have paid their dues. Not the way your family did. I understand your feelings about that. But it's still not as if someone handed them a free ride to a trouble free life. They have to work as hard as the rest of us do to make it. [/quote]
