I disagree with irv.
illegal immigrants should not receive any rights or protections of the constitution (and neither should terrorists)
but our system is severely broken and needs to be fixed.
people who want to be citizens should not have to wait 15 years and pay thousands of dollars.
make the path to citizenship fair and efficient, then secure the borders and punish the lawbreakers harshly, and the immigration problem will be fixed.
but hey, I think we should invade the 9 northernmost states of mexico and make them our own, bringing the full might of the military down on the drug cartels.
reconquista my ass.
