Society does both to illegal immigrants. Just because "people do it" doesn't make it OK.

some of them are. but that still doesnt' mean that narcotics should be legal.

Jumping from "Drug laws have problems" to "Narcotics should be legal." is stupid. As is comparing drug laws to immigration.

They're just being American and, truth be told, they don't have the same liberties I do. But, wouldn't it be nice to be able to get a little of that change to pay for programs like the ones my nonprofit provides?

Exactly. The vast majority want to be a part of society here, with the rights and responsibilities that entails.

This is why you fix the line at the same time. In some ways people who've been here for 20 years instead of being "in line" have contributed more to the US than the line standers have.
