In spite of the fact that the vast majority will cheat on their taxed if they think they can get away with it. Steal if they think they can get away with it. Do drugs illegal drugs if they think they can get away with it. Or violate the Constitution if they think they can get away with it. And, of course beat EVERY law in court if they can get away with it. Congress and the President promulgate thousands of statutes and rules each year, some of them thousands of pages long. No be in this country even knows what all the laws are!--But you go right on trotting out your delusions that any immigrant who broke the law is an obviously irredeemable unAmerican. Now when Republicans break the law its a whole different story! Go Bundy! For some reason you think people will see your hypocrisy as principled instead of just bigoted, ad it really is.--Hate to burst your bubble but--Not gonna happen! The only one deluded enough to mistake your bigotry for moral superiority--is you! You rig immigration law so European countries thousands of miles away with total populations of less than five thousand people get the same quota of legal immigrant applications as our next door neighbor with a population of eighty million. And then pretend how unfair it is to all those countries who aren't hurt on the least by the immigration rules that strangle Mexicans that they obey the law when so many Mexicans and Latinos don't. You claim obeying the law is a moral imperative.--Unless its a law YOU don't want to obey!-- Like, say, it being illegal to torture people?! The only thing superior about you is your intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy. If you can be a citizen the moral bar is low enough that just about anyone qualifies.

Nor will anything happen until... 2105? That seems a long way off, almost a century. Oh well, maybe you think it's because Republicans will control all three arms of government for the next 89 years. Certainly Republicans believe they will. They control two of them already.
