A CRIMINAL OFFENSE has been commited.
My sister makes a wonderful pineapple upsidedown cake and is a decent hardworking person as well. But if she BREAKS the LAW then she has to PAY the PRICE!
Besides that, What do you say to the people who patiently follow the path of LEGAL IMMIGRATION? Is it fair to those people?

If your sister is over 20 years old she has broken the law hundreds of times without paying the price (e.g. possibly underage drinking, speeding, turning on a red light, maybe experimenting with drugs, jaywalking, and a thousand other things teenagers do in the process of growing up). There are thousands upon thousands of laws, making it almost impossible to tow the line.
But that is not the point, deporting 11 million immigrants at gunpoint tomorrow will not solve much and would cause more problems than it would solve. Don't forget it is only an accident of birth, that you are here and not in a mass grave in Iraq, or an immigrant yourself.
In 1910, the typical debate in politics was how immigrants from southern europe were going to destroy this country! The immigrant population as a percentage has been greater in the first five decades of the 1900s than now. This is a very old debate. Since the debate is so old, it seems like I should see reasonable solutions to this problem discussed, instead of hyperbole. Provide me with a reasonable, thoughtful solution that would be both politically acceptable and humane and you will have a convert.

There's a list somewhere, of groups that are excluded from having to obey the law -- blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, the disabled (alias "other abled," "differently abled"), congressmen, illegal aliens, etc. I know that "hardworking people" have been permanently excluded from it, but otherwise the list is changed so often, that you might want to make sure that "makers of wonderful pineapple upsidedown cake" aren't on it.
Time to arrest every waiter or waitress who did not declare all their tips to the IRS. They have to pay the price don't they ? Is it fair to regular taxpayers who pay tax on all of their income ?
Did I mention that I don't think we have enough jail space for an extra 20 million people ? Besides, I like going to restaurants and no one would be there to wait on me.
