Hello smoothy:
Couple things:
If your family was starving, and YOU were unable to provide for them, and you saw a help wanted sign, but it was on the other side of a line that you're not supposed to cross, would you cross it anyway, go to work and send money to your family? Of course, you would.
It's only recently that we started being bothered by illegals here. For the longest time, not only did we have the help wanted sign out, there was a welcome sign right next to it Consequently, people came, and started lives here. Many have been here for years... It didn't bother a soul.
There's a concept in the law called estoppel. It means that if a wrong goes on for any length of time, when it COULD have been stopped by the wronged party, and WASN'T, then the wrong is deemed to be no longer wrong.
To me, that forms the legal basis for amnesty. I suspect you'd rather tear family's apart and send all 12 million (? ) of 'em out of here.
