Back to immigration, it the unauthorized immigrants already here are going to be legalized eventually, then why not do it now and skip the human suffering? Why tie people’s fates to ideology?[/quote]
Well, I think we are all, in one respect or anther, tied to ideology. Legalizing illegal immigrants is going to rile so many who believe it is wrong. The debate is a hard one to defend on either side and will probably boil down to what is practical rather than what is right. If the solution is to evolve that may take time.
