My issue isn't with the people it's with the fact that they break the law to enter this country. If you want them to be able to come over then follow the democratic process and change the law instead of encouraging breaking it.

And since you want to be all patronizing my parents and grandparents immigrated to this country and had to go through a long process to do so. Those processes aren't just there for no reason. Part of the process involves getting medical exams done to ensure people aren't bringing over diseases, which I would think any sane person would support, there are also checks to ensure that said person doesn't have any criminal history and so on. Skip all of that and you have no fucking clue what kinds of people you're letting in.

And that's before we consider how big of a slap in the face it is to people who did follow all the rules and are waiting to get in legally while you want to allow those who break the law to get in to stay without any consequences.

You say that these people are good for the country and provide value and I don't disagree that they can be however we need to have an orderly system for processing people to get work visas, green cards, and citizenship and we do. My issue is that we shouldn't let those who decide they can just circumvent the system because they don't like it to get away with it unpunished and frankly neither should the predatory employers that knowingly employ them.

If you really think we need more people to come in and work then call your congressman and get them to raise the quota for temporary work visas so these people can be screened, come in, work legally and with all employment protections offered under US law, pay taxes, and go home.
