[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3075502, member: 13624"] I didn't say it was; I merely pointed out a little bit of the other side of the coin. It's always beneficial to understand the other side's point of view when making an argument. Saying "they should become legal" is akin to telling a cancer patient he "should get better;" it's a whole lot easier said than done. I'm not saying it [I]shouldn't[/I] be done, just that we'd all do well to understand what the patient is going to have to bear to make it happen. Well, since the illegal immigrants in this discussion were--[I]by definition[/I]--children when they came here, they're probably not coming [I]to[/I] a country with all the family, etc. they've known, but rather coming [I]with[/I] all the family they've known in any significant, meaningful way, and the relationships are the ones they develop over the years. Or did you fail to consider that fact? [/QUOTE]
