I'm an immigrant from the Caribbean. I "waited my turn"
My mother immigrated with a green card through here dad, and legally then sent for us.
Because the system is so broken and the embassy is in another country, it cost my family thousands of dollars, multiple interviews, and years of waiting to get me and my sister to get green cards.
And every single one of them members of my family that paid that money, felt the disappointing of being turned down for a silly reason, and had their lives in limbo for years, all support letting these people say in the country and giving these people a path to citizenship.
Because they people are coming from farrrrrrrrrrrrr worst situations than what I was coming from, and should go through what I went through.
I'm all for border controls, even though I realize how futile and expensive it will be. But the people that are in this country should be allowed to stay and given a path to citizenship

By the way, funny to hear a hard core conservative talk about rule of law.
Wasn't hearing a lot of that from the right when the SCOTUS went back-to-back on them this summer with the ACA and same sex marriage ruling.
Calling folk that refused to issue marriage license to same sex couples "heroes"
