When families are cast as criminals, it’s even harder to get to solutions

Yep. And companies generally are resistant to hiring those convicted of felonies.

There is no BIRTHRIGHT to becoming an immigrant to America. It's a poppycock notion to ALL are eligible.

Might as well stop screening for diseases and criminals on the lamb.

People overstaying their visas are no less guilty than people sneaking across the border.

Unfortunately, we have become like Tom Bodett and Motel 6. We keep the light on for everyone.

“our country’s broken immigration system”

Yes it is.

We should have one more like Mexico’s, or pretty much ANY other country in the WORLD.

Good question. Also, I’d wager that for every undocumented engineering student, there are 99 MS-13 undocumented gang members. That’s who people are worried about, but its easier to put a fresh faced college student on the poster.

We have all heard this language used to push legislation to shut down the border, create fear in the immigrant population and promote the ridiculous idea of rewriting the 14 Amendment.

Hey kid, I'll bring a pregnant lady into YOUR home where she can drop a child, without your consent for her to even ENTER the home, and then let her file claims to one of your bedrooms by BIRTHRIGHT.

Since the courts refuse to prosecute those entering ILLEGALLY from claiming their children as US Citizens (and then using the anchor baby to secure citizenship for themselves), the Constitution must be amended to PROHIBIT judicial activism in this matter. "ridiculous idea of rewriting...(an) Amendment". That is SUPPOSED to be the process, not crooked liberal judges ramming through whatever policy they support this generation.

Eh, I’m not so pleased to see the future visa engineers taking US jobs either.

Bill Gates and his ilk sold America out to India. I got a degree that was devalued by a liberal marxist who insists that I need to work cheaper and that I am not paying enough taxes.

“How is he even going to college? “

The same way that illegal aliens get welfare and public housing. When they apply they are not asked if they are in this country legally. That is how 0bama’s illegal alien aunt got her illegal butt into public housing on our dime.

We came here on a travel visa to visit my dad, but we ended up staying with an expired visa.

So from the start, they LIED about their intent so they could gain entry, then they deliberately overstayed their visa with no intent of complying with our immigration law in the first place. BUT they think we are meanspirited and have a "broken" immigration system because we don't embrace their deception and disregard for our immigration laws.

I have my own “I AM...” story. I am sick of the United States being overrun with criminal illegal invaders and do-nothing politicians that won’t deal with the problem.

Many are quick to say, “Get in the back of the line.” But what if that line is 20 years long?

In Japan, even to register a bicycle (which you must do, if you ride one), you MUST show a foreigner ID card. You must also do that to buy a train pass, to get a library card, or just to get (what was until recently called) a video rental card.

Show up to vote with a non-Japanese face and you’d almost certainly get (politely) arrested.

We have a broken immigration system because we don’t “Send back them” as Mexico does when they discover people who have illegally entered the country.
