I appreciate the sentiment.

The non-citizen children of illegal immigrants have had the benefit of an American education. They're not victims. But unless infants or toddlers are capable of breaking and entering, they're not criminals, either.

They're more like investments, like stocks.

We've spent an awful lot of money on their education and now they're on the verge of paying dividends (by way of taxes).

There are hundreds of thousands of such young people, many willing to earn their citizenship in a way that most native-born kids are not - by going to college or joining the military.

Reader azuser4441 put it this way, "Let's provide an opportunity for them to become productive members of society."

It's not politics or philosophy. It's economics.
