Legalization is consistent with American family values. Would opponents of legalization deport children and divide families? More than 1.6 million undocumented children live in the United States. More than 3.1 million U.S.-citizen children have at least one undocumented parent. Legalization supports our broader reform effort. We must break Americas cycle of illegality. Enforcement at the worksite and elsewhere will fail if 12 million Americans and 5 percent of U.S. workers remain in the shadows. The American people support earned legalization. Poll after poll find that large majorities of Americans want undocumented immigrants who have lived and worked in the United States to have a chance to keep their jobs and earn legal status. This support spans political parties and crosses demographics. Americans understand that this is a complex problem that requires a comprehensive solution.
