Yes, I'd say actually making the system work would be the humane thing to do. And it would also be the one that makes economic sense and could entirely reenergize our country.
But if you want to stay on the Dems' Fantasy Island, where we keep the existing dysfunctional system in everything from immigration to education to taxes, go ahead.
On the contrary, saying that illegals deserve free stuff is more the Democrat thing, not wanting to reward them.
