This is not a debate about legal immigration. Protesters are trying to equate what is legal and what is not.
Yes, it is this intentional blurring of the issue that drives me crazy. I always hear "Hey, we are all immigrants", and this is true for the most part. We are not all illegal immigrants though. We didn't all break the law to get here. My great-granparents waited in line at Ellis Island and followed the proper channels.

And that is the problem that I have. Becoming a legal immigrant is not an easy process. It is a slap in the face to the millions of people, including Mexicans, Canadians, Russians, etc. who had enough respect for our laws to go through the proper process to become citizens. I would not be happy at all if I waited literally years to become a citizen, only to find that that those who just walk over the border are not punished or deported. How is that fair?
