Personal Opinion to follow:

I think illegal immigrants should be sent back to their own country.  Being an immigrant myself who came to this country LEGALLY and became a citizen LEGALLY I fully understand how difficult the process is.  But the guidelines, restrictions, and requirements are there for a reason.  There are LAWS being broken, and for some reason, it's ok.  It's ok to break some laws, but not others.  Selective compliance shouldn't be acceptable, tolerated, or applauded.

One of the biggest jokes I have ever seen in my life was when all the ILLEGAL immigrants were parading around and NONE were arrested and deported.  How can we expect to be respected on the world front when we show such weakness?  So many illegals are here because they are not afraid of legal action against them.

Illegal immigrants are here illegally, are NOT citizens, and therefore do not have the RIGHTS of a citizen in this country.  They have the RIGHT to return to their country safely and peacefully.

I have to agree.  Selective enforcement of laws is a slippery slope.  I have no problem with people wanting to come to the U.S. to better support themselves or family, increased opportunity for health care or education, or any other reason BUT it must be done the right way.  The inability or unwillingness for the U.S. Gov't make sure that this is the case is troublesome to me.
