undocumented immigrant

Human beings trying to make a decent living. Most actually do pay taxes, contrary to what most Americans think. Trying to kick them all out would be another "war on drugs," or "war on terror" style failure and a huge waste of money and "political capital."

An undocumented immigrant deserves a chance to become a citizen.
