And if you've been here for, say, 25 years and pose no threat, you should be allowed to stay, not forcibly be sent back.

I have a feeling we're not really talking about people who have been here for at least 25 years. Most of those were probably amnestied already under the 1986 law signed by RWR.

The 25 year requirement is going to be reduced after the election. The question is to what? Five, ten??

Actually, none of this is really up to any president, Republican or Democrat.
