never had the chance to come legally?
Fact: if you are poor and you do not have a close family member (parent, spouse, adult child or sibling) or an employer willing to sponsor you do not get to come legally. There is no line for them to wait in, there is no way for them to "do it the right way". I work with illegals every day, if they could have come legally they would have done it gladly.
I think the antis perpetuate this myth because it supports the attitude that illegals are all bad people because they chose to break the law when they had other options.
I don't believe the myth that all illegals are just good, hardworking people who just want to help their families, either. They are neither innocent victim nor are they evil criminals.
This all good or all bad false dichotomy I think clouds the debate on both sides. Antis, what is so objectionable about accepting that they never had the chance to come legally? You can still argue that they should be deported.
