However we handle the legal status of people who came here in violation of the law, who stayed here in violation of the law and who work here in violation of the law, why do we owe them more than humanitarian consideration?

We would be denigrating the value of citizenship and would be making a GRAVE moral mistake by granting any previously illegal alien the right to vote.

why do we owe them more than humanitarian consideration?

Which they receive. The media tries to make it sound like those of us standing up for law and order are physically abusing these people. Absolutely NO ONE wants bad things to happen to them. Feed them, give them a hot shower, and send them home. Just as all of our European "allies" who are constantly lecturing us on this issue ROUTINELY do.
