Do you not see illegal immigrants, people who made a decision to break U.S. regulations and laws, as criminals?

What I see is immigrants wanting to immigrate the the US are not being given a path to citizenship so they are forced to be illegals. All that needs to be done is allow them to become citizens.

No. I see them the way I see Harriet Tubman and others who helped slaves to escape: as good people who correctly recognized that the law was wrong and that breaking it was the right thing to do.

Well, as you just said, they are.

No, I don't.

Yes, of course.

If I illegally entered a foreign country, I would certainly feel like I was a criminal, and would understand and acknowledge the potential repercussions if caught, which could include criminal penalties and obviously immediate deportation, so yea, I do.

No.

Yes, but I also seem them as people that are able to take great risks to improve their lives, which is what this country was all about.

I see them as beautiful agents of nature.

The breaking and entering is enough to throw them out. Democrats don't want to lose their voter base.
