Agreed. People tend to forget (or forgive) the "illegal" part of the immigrant's status. They'll scream from their porch to lock up someone for an ounce of weed while paying some illegal immigrant workers $5 an hour to remodel their kitchen. There's legal ways to immigrate, those aren't the ones causing the problems. The word is ILLEGAL. Against the law. People just can't grasp that for some strange reason.
