I'd rather have citizenship for workers than pork-barrel politics.

In these two cases neither is justified. I do not want law breakers as instant citizens do you? Good grief we take the rights from our on prisioners for felonies and reward the ones who cross our borders in an illegal manner? Punish one lawbreaker reward another huh? One simple law is what is asked for working here an offical Visa. Now if they can not and they will not even honor this one law we ask of them, then all the other laws we have will be just as useless to them as well.

Lawbreakers? Interesting concept. Kind of like a spreadsheet circular reference. As Mexicans they are not subject to U.S. law. But they come here to work and should follow the law as soon as they sneak in. hmmm. Breaking the law by trying to be an American. hmmm. It's hard to think of them as a common criminal or thief for this "crime". Our ancestors came here even after the Indians thought enough was enough. Were they lawbreakers? Our society has let them in. If we really wanted to keep them out all these years, we could have. But we didn't. I myself would rather would could have found a way to keep them out and only let in those who went through the process but we couldn't and what's done is done. Maybe this is a prelude to a better system of border patrol. In order to cut down on the disruption, consider those who are in as lucky and then put a stop to more coming in. Maybe an soon to come anti-terror initiative.

So our ancestors are lawbreakers?

Well, I don't think we're going to let people get away with murder, etc. because of this.
