stephaniekbrewer on Create a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants

It is impractical and inhumane to suggest that the United States deport 12 million people, many of whom have spent their time here working hard and raising families...

so to me it makes sense that we create a way for these hardworking individuals to pay taxes and earn citizenship in the country where they have contributed to the economy and planted roots.

I understand the security issue and the reduction of wages and jobs, so it is also our responsibility to ensure that our borders are secure.

Both a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and stricter border control should be priorities, and it seems to me that people do not pay enough attention to the immigration debate.
