I had already figured out which group you were in..
I am not advocating amnesty or tolerating unlawful activity but we are way past playing catch up on all the water flowed over this dam unchecked. The last amnesty was supposed to be the only one, but they didn't finish that job, creating this new bigger problem.
Congress says this is illegal but then doesn't budget the money to enforce it widely. Spot enforcement is just disruptive to business. I would argue that they by not adequately funding enforcement, put the law in question. They are just posturing for voters without seriously addressing the issue.
To address the root problem here.. why are so many workers coming here..? lets help their government make jobs for them in their country (maybe a wall construction project?). Mexico has their hands full with criminally corrupt regional governments in parts of their country, but the do manage their southern border better than their northern.
We need to figure how to stop the bleeding and get to a better place.. this won't be one simple fix.

JR,
I don't think I belong to any particular Group. I've paid close attention to all of the Facts delivered by both sides of the Argument and realize I'm probably in the Minority, because of MY Reasons.
I just think that Fixing One Problem with another Problem in this case is not the Answer.
I agree there are Problems in Mexico (as well as everywhere) but, the Mexican Citizens have to fix it, it's their Problem. Exactly as we must fix OUR Problems.
America needs to tighten it's belt and get it's hands dirty. We forgot how to Work Hard, it's time to Work Hard AND Smart.
Last thought... as a couple of Younger Sound Pros responded in the "How old are you?" Postings, their friends work X amount of hours per WEEK and they Worked that amount of Hours in three days. If the rest of America was as Passionate as Most Sound Pros., we wouldn't be in the Mess we're in.
Reminds Me of a Tom Hanks Movie.....
