If immigration rules were as tight 100-110 years ago as they are right now, how many of us would be here? Would these "illegals" be illegal if it wasn't so difficult to get here legally? What's that the Statue of Liberty says? Oh yes, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” There are two ways to reduce the number of illegal immigrants.. make them legal or deport them. I'd rather see us go the first route, especially for children who didn't make the choice to be here.
As to the motive for making this decision now? Probably election year politics. That's politics. I still support the action, whether the motive is the right motive or not.
