Your comment makes a lot of sense, and shows that you are a thinking man who looks at both sides and sees that nothing is perfect on either side. That is called being "well-rounded". Thank you for giving pause for thought.

I have a question for you, and have been wondering how the administration would handle it: If Trump's administration comes up with some form of amnesty for the illegal immigrants that are already here and have been for years (since childhood, etc.), what about the folks that are trying to come to the US legally who are doing it the right way? Should they still have to wait? What would be your thoughts on solving their obvious outrage when they see they didn't have to bother going through the time and expense of entering the US legally?

All I can say is that we must put together a comprehensive immigration plan to begin now and require legal immigration beginning now. Because this was not done consistently over the past 30-50 years, that problem must be handled separately and with compassion, while weeding out individuals who are deportable. Others should be allowed to live out the lives that they have built. DACA, ofc, will be addressed. There are two extremes....let them all stay and deport them all. I believe that the correct path lies somewhere in between.

Oh, I am a Republican. I hold to traditional Republican values. A continuation of liberalism under Hillary scared the heck out of me, so Trump's victory has, in a sense, been a two edged sword. Liberalism does not rule, at the moment. Republican values within Cabinet departments has already had a significant effect upon the economy. The passing of the tax bill, esp. with the lowering of the corporate tax rate should have a continued affect on the economy. The change in the judiciary is certainly welcome. Things that bother me, however are things like the moving of the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. My feeling.....why stoke the fires when it's not necessary. On immigration I agree with Trump about closing the borders and controlling immigration. What I don't agree on and find fundamentally loathsome is not having a cohesive plan to deal with the 11 million illegal immigrant in this country before deporting any and all of them. My feeling is that not all 11 million can or should be deported and Congress should make decisions, beginning with DACA, before wholesale deportations begin.
While it is true that any undocumented immigrant is here illegally, but failing to enforce immigration laws to the fullest in the past, some individuals have built lives and families in this country over a period of decades. There is a lot to be considered when constructing legislation about who should be allowed to stay and who should go.
