But basically you’re saying, screw over a bunch of people who possibly deserve a chance because there are a few bad eggs. You claim pro-migrants want an all or nothing. Anti-migrants simply want nothing. On the other hand, if you look at bills/actions proposed/supported by pro-migrants activists, you’ll often find them fairly in the middle, until recently. Bills like the DREAM Act have been on the table for nearly a decade with no movement. Eventually everyone gets tired and says enough is enough, give us what we deserve. And I mean exactly that: deserve. I, and people like me, deserve a chance to stay.

You mention the unfortunate side effect is that bright and promising students get stuck because of this… since when do Americans accept collateral damage as an unavoidable part of fights? I thought we were above such pettiness. There are ways to get the right people in and keep the wrong people out. But as soon as people here “pro-immigration” or “amnesty” suddenly their thoughts jump to the same hateful things your site promotes, without every considering the positive aspects, thanks to sites like yours.

Regardless, thanks for reading and commenting.
