I read something in here that said, if they're breaking the law, then deport them.
Wow.
Them being here is breaking the law.
I said something similar, and while I agree with you that its ridiculous since they're illegal to begin with; I'm a bleeding heart sometimes. I've worked with and made friends with "illegals," and they're just people like anyone else trying to make their way in the world. Yes, they do cost the taxpayer and I am a taxpayer. Yes, I think our border needs to be more controlled. But with millions of illegals already here, a roundup/deportation will never happen. And since they're already here (with many of them working), rather then have them continue collecting government benefits while earning a tax-free living and exporting US currency; it makes more sense to me from a economic and social aspect to simply tax their earnings and grant them some sort of leniency with regard to naturalization.
