It's one of those "law and order" areas that conservatives tend to have the edge on.

Laws were broken and we can not award people for that. What we can offer a 5 year green card that allows them to remain here and work legally. This will also make sure they keep their noses clean cause if they are ever convicted of any major crimes we can simply deport them. Also keeps them from using the government assistance programs. Trade offs are needed.
1. Undocumented immigrants already don't have access to government assistance.
2. Fixes for these sorts of things are included in the comprehensive overhaul attempts. Republicans in the House refused to pass it.

If your news source is telling you that Democrats want "open borders" then you need to get a new source for your news.
The problem is that this is the messaging from Republican politicians, as well. Just lots of lying all around.
