(and to your friends)

Although it needs some adjustment, this law is the best kind of immigration reform.

These immigrants did not break the law, they have shown an extra effort to succeed.

Opposing this is irrational IMO.

Living ILLEGALLY in the country for (at least) 5 years is not breaking law? I guess if you robbed a bank, or broke into somebody's house 5 years ago and spent all the money you stole, you would want amnesty because you got away with it for 5 years?

What extra effort did they show? I don't consider going to school like every other US citicen kid is required to do, extra effort. And to boot, they got a at least 5 years education on the backs of American taxpayers.

What about the illegal parents of the Illegal child in school? I suppose you think they should also be able to stay here, because after all, we can't send the parents home and keep the kid here by themself. How about the kid's little brother or sister who has only been here 4 years or less than 5 years, do you also want to keep them here? What about the kid's uncle and grandparents who are also living with the kid? I'm sure you would want them to stay so as not to break up the happy family.

What if the Illegal kid has only been here 3 years or 4 years or 4 1/2 years and is in school? I guess you would want them to stay since they "really haven't broken the law."

Where does it end? You are missing the fact that they shouldn't even be in the country to get into school in the first place. How about if we ask for proof of citizenship before even enrolling in the school system from the very first day. Not a citizen, no school, deported. End of story.
