I support a path to citizenship for immigrants, but not for illegal aliens. Immigrants immigranted, illegal aliens illegally trespassed. Entering in through the immigration process makes one an immigrant, illegally sneaking in does not.
My wife, who is a legal immigrant, has the same view as you. She despises those that cheat the systems while those that went through the full legal process seem to get the shaft. It took us months. We supplied all kind of documentation, paid the fees and waited our turn. That is the only legitimate path to citizenship.
