Think about it. If nothing gets done about immigration reform and in the future we're in that grey area of well... These kids have established lives, they work and pay taxes etc... Brought here at no fault of their own.. It'll be a piece of cake to pass legislation for a GC/citizenship asap.. On the other hand if you hand out work permits to everyone and their mother, it'll be a big issue of well, do we really want 11 million law breakers competing with us for jobs PERMANETLY? and effecting the outcome of elections?

It's much easier for Americans to accept legalizing 500k-1mill Americanized childhood arrivals rather than 11 million competing with them.. Just my 2 cent.. Id love for everyone to be legalized, I just see it hurting us more than helping us..
