True.
Books, I'm sure there are many people who came here illegally that love this country. I can also appreciate the fact that they'd probably crawl through broken glass or worse to be here...I know I would had I not been born in the US. But we as a Country cannot reward illegal behavior, no matter how wonderful some of these people may be.
Yes, we all start or came from somewhere. My relatives came here from Ireland, Sicily and Germany (yeah I'm a mutt) legally, and while it can be a lengthy process to do so...again I ask where do we draw the line? What is allowed for one then becomes precedent and what has to be allowed for all.
It boils down to the fact that if someone is not a legal citizen of the US they do NOT have the right to vote and elect officials to run this country, or local/state governments for that matter.
It's more like Viva la LEGAL immigration...
