What about it?

It's a shame it's necessary, but it is.

I'm very torn on this issue; I want to have compassion and respect the fact that illegals want into our country, but I've also experienced first-hand some negative repercussions of that.

In my mind, people play the emotional/humane card when it comes to this, when really it's a matter of national policy. Somehow, we should feel guilty as Americans for wanting to protect our borders. Somehow that's inhumane.

The true pushing point for me was simply this: seeing a sea of illegal immigrants protesting US immigration law openly in the streets.
