[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great news. Thanks for sharing, OP.[/quote]

Please describe why it is great news. You're confirming what I thought about this case, that the people dwelling on it are the ones who already wanted all of the undocumented out in the first place. A majority of Americans actually support a path to citizenship.[/quote]

As an ideological matter, I do think that people who do not have legal authorization to be here have committed a crime and should be deported back to their home countries to get in line to immigrate legally. As a practical matter, we have been letting it slide for so long that it's much more complex than just rounding everyone up and sending them away. We really need meaningful reform in this area. I would support a path to citizenship for those who can prove they've been living in this country peacefully and productively for X years (5 years, maybe?). Anyone who cannot prove they have been here that long or have criminal records, etc. can go. From then on, we actually enforce the laws on the books. If the laws we have aren't working, lets change them. This problem has been festering long enough. People either need to be able to obtain legal status or we need to actually deport those who have broken immigration laws. It does not benefit anyone to have this strange gray area.[/quote]
