Maybe this is an issue that just doesn't translate across the border, but for the life of me I can't understand the US immigration debate. The idea that deporting people who enter the country illegally is controversial is completely baffling. Why even have an immigration policy and system if it's not enforced?
Do you want these people in the country, or not? If so, give them a process to become legal. If not, get rid of them. The current plan of leaving them illegal but being unwilling to deport them is just bizzare.

On another note, I don't get it
