The best that can be said of these people is that they do not comprehend the basics of nationality, nor understand that a people have the right to control their own borders. That assumes that they are not deliberate scoff-laws, with total disrespect for American Nationality.

If they are not so limited in their comprehension, as that would imply, they have chosen to deliberately put their perception of their own self-interest over the legal rights of the American people.

Whether their lack is of intelligence or morality, no long term good can be expected from allowing them to remain. Those who for the sake of cheap labor--for a perceived advantage of the moment on this side of the border--would rationalize amnesty, are sewing the seeds for a future disaster. A nation is not a game of musical chairs. And this attempt to justify the present chaos is terribly misguided.

For a serious look at the whole question of future immigration, see Immigration & The American Future.

"they have chosen to deliberately put their perception of their own self-interest over the legal rights of the American people. "

Here is their exact justification:

  1. The US is a nation of immigrants.
  2. Everyone living the the US is either an immigrant or a decendent of immigrants.
  3. Therefore the US has no right to keep anyone out of its country.
