Would you please provide full context and source for that quote?

Immigration

The former Senator argues that it is just not realistic to round up the twelve million illegal immigrants in the country and ship them out in one day. Instead he says America should have a realistic means of giving the illegal immigrants ‘aspirations of citizenship’ without affecting the rights of legitimate immigrants who are queuing up for citizenship.

JMO, but giving illegals aspirations of citizenship can entail removing the safe environment in which they now illegally exist....
