For anyone to just pronounce "here is the new change" is an indiscriminate approach to changing the law without following the law. I believe such an indiscriminate approach would be both unwise and unfair. It would suggest to those thinking about coming here illegally that there will be no repercussions for such a decision. and this could lead to a surge in more illegal immigration. and it would also ignore the millions of people around the world who are waiting to come here legally. Ultimately. our Nation. like all nations. has the right and obligation to control its borders and set laws for residency and citizenship. and no matter how decent they are. no matter their reasons. the 11 million who broke these laws should be held accountable. That is what I believe.
