Because these people who have been here for decades and in some cases have American children should not just be ripped away from everything they know. Laws should not be absolutes in these cases; there is morality and there is law, and they are not always the same thing. I am not saying we should not have immigration laws and enforce them, but we should not start by deporting people who live basically as citizens in all but papers. Give these people citizenship, and revise the laws for future immigrants, and follow those laws. Don't pull the rug out of people who are already here.
