I would like to ask the left to give me their position on illegal immigration.

Yes.



Followup question: What do you tell someone going through the immigration process for decades? According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the wait time for qualifying applicants (the 98 percent of people applying who have family members or if I understand right occupations waiting in the US) is anywhere from 19 months to 33 years. That's not the processing backlog once you go from the list to "in the system," but the wait to get into the system.

Outside of bourbon, what process takes 33 years and doesn't get overhauled?

(Ok, that was two followup questions)

I tell them that we are a Nation of Laws and your decision to follow these laws is to be admired. I would further tell them I will oppose those that jumped queue in front of you and those that support their doing so.

I would further let them know that I am an advocate if legal immigration and hope by actively opposing those that are here illegally that we can remove the stigma currently attached to being an immigrant and hopefully speed up the process of legal measures.
