I think that's a fair point. A more important argument is that making the system too lenient towards people who have come here illegally creates the wrong incentives.
- InclinedPlane 15y agoPerhaps. But that also shouldn't stop us from making the system better and more sane. Today the system is ridiculous and laden with vestiges of waves of anti-immigrant sentiment in the past. It needs to become sane, and if that means cutting a few corners then I think that's better than continuing to perpetuate injustice and ridiculous laws that don't uphold the ideals of our country.
