If you are told that your spouse or minor child cannot be here for the next six or seven years because of the backlog, that's an incentive for them to get here illegally.

It smells of political pandering. We have no problem with strong border protections, but anyone who thinks you can have immigration reform starting with just border protections has their head in the sand.

I would call on him to be honest and say that's what's happening.

If I can be shown to have some reason to have suspected that a person was undocumented, that makes me vulnerable. The other side will say nobody is going to prosecute these groups, but why do you need this in the law? The (existing) aiding and abetting statute is already very thorough if you're trying to go after smugglers.

Those moments of play that we do get in meta-life, like playing music, or golf, or word-play, or flirting - those are some of the best parts about being alive.
