I haven't fully formed an opinion about this yet, but rather than
subsidizing persons who have chosen to ignore US immigration laws and
thus committed a felony to gain access to this nation, it might be
more reasonable to arrest them or deport them.


Perhaps. It's our country - we stole it fair and square.

That argument can be made for virtually any country which is not
governed by the indigenous people who initially occupied that land.
Take Mexico and its Spanish heritage for instance ... It was "stolen
fair and square" from its indigenous people. However, it is primarily
those with some Spanish heritage who are flooding across US borders
not the indigenous people.

If immigrants to the US choose to commit felony offences by emigrating
without proper US documentation as a type of insurrection or political
statement, their cause loses credibility as a result of their failure
to recognize the rule of law. Peaceful change should come from within
the system by people who demonstrate their respect for justice and due
process. Those who find it more expedient to violate the law of the
land for political reasons deserve the treatment befitting any traitor
or foreign combatant. After all, they are not refugees, but
opportunists.

But you don't really want to hash this out here do you? I know I
don't.

Right... which makes the "righteous" part of righteous indignation sort
of weak.

[...they] deserve the treatment befitting any traitor

Those are mighty strong words. The laws are made by people; they can
make any laws they want but that doesn't make them just laws.

Peaceful change should come from within the system


Immigrants, illegal or otherwise, are not within the system to begin with.

But you don't really want to hash this out here do you? I know I
don't.


No, not really. I haven't made my mind up either, but when I do, I know
I'll be right.
