Let the GOP say “Welcome. Play by the rules — before and after you come — and we’ll find a way to make you legal.”

That's presuming the folks on the other side of the conversation have more or less the same goals. I'm not so sure they are interested in anybody's rules and they don't seem to be too interested in being 'legal'.

The notion that we should help people who break our country's laws get rewarded for breaking them offends me as an American. I will NEVER vote for a party that subscribes to the principle its OK for people to disrespect our country and then get admitted to our society as citizens in good standing though they did nothing wrong. If you're a patriot and you believe America means something, then you ARE against illegal immigration. Finn doesn't just get why Americans don't want shamnesty - it has nothing to do with where illegals are from and everything to do with how they got here.
