Her point is Americans' opposition to the Senate bill would be far less ferocious if it asked something of illegals - a grand bargain whereby they become Americans in name and in heart as well as in law in exchange for this amnesty they're going to be given. Nothing of the sort is being required of them - no loyalty to this country, no being responsible in the civic sense of the word and no playing by the same rules as Americans. No - they're being exempt from all that and as Rudyard Kipling famously put it, being elevated to the status of the "lesser breed without the law." No wonder Americans are so righteously angry. Such an arrangement flies against the very nature of what America is all about.
Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

Such an arrangement flies against the very nature of what America is all about. What the Senate is engaging in is a form of racism. They seem to be implying with this handout legislation that illegals don't have the ability to achieve on their own and so we must give it to them instead then call it compassion. It really is a superior, elitist attitude they're projecting.
