Part of the problem is that many conservatives are pushing this as some sort of Amnesty. It isn't it imposes fines and penalties on those who have come here illegally but also gives them a chance to become citizens.

I think this is a pretty decent article. It would be nice if we as a nation could consider our neighboring nations with higher regard.

This is not cool.
