You have to get inside the minds of these Republicans:

Cross over, pop out a few kids, get rewarded with a work permit and status. Simple.

That's the way Republicans see it, and that's a slap in the face to them. And in a way, that's the way a lot of undocumented immigrants see it too: nothing more than an opportunity that they should take advantage of. And why shouldn't they?

We can argue that some undocumented parents of U.S. born children had kids here NOT with the intention to someday use their children as leverage to secure status, sure. But we can also argue that some undocumented parents of U.S. born children had kids here WITH the intention to someday use their children as leverage to secure their status.

And it's the latter who fucked it up for everyone else.

You can call me an asshole if you want, but deep down you know i'm telling the truth.
