I didn't say that there isn't a need for immigration laws, or that I support illegal immigration, my post refered to the stupiditiy of the editorial which was addressed in the beginning of the thread.

I agree that illegal immigration is wrong, but it's a case where punishing the immigrants isn't actually going to solve anything and we need to make systemic changes instead. And a wall is sooo not the answer.

Ditto, Drolefille!
There are millions of illegal immigrants currently in the US and it's unreasonable to believe we can kick them all out. We need to do three things (in this order)...1) Stop any more immigrants from coming into the country illegally by better securing all of our borders, 2) Deport any illegal immigrants who commit crimes once they are here, and 3) Get the illegal immigrants who are here on a path to citizenship.
