"It's called the legal immigration pathway and so says the law of our land"... the problem we seem to have here is that our elected ones truly beleive they have the right to selectively decide to whom the law shall apply. It would seem somehow an excellent question for the Supreme Court. For if it is ruled so, by the Court, then all men equal under law is dead, and we return to aristocracy, where favorable treatment is metered out to politically correct members of the King's Court.
Excellent post.
