Yes, we ain't don't have been enforcing dem laws for decades now. <--Ribbing your grammar a bit - forgive me. :-)

You are correct though.  We have been enabling illegal immigration for decades.  It is unfair and immoral to now simply turn our backs on those who have put decade long roots in our country now and deport them.  Time to change the law and go after those who hire them illegally.  First, we need another AMNESTY (such a dirty word to some people - I think it is a beautiful word).
