I have and will defend those who have been here for years, who are working fulltime supporting themselves and their families. It would be pointless to rip them out of their productive lives and deport them. I have said many times that we should speed up the process so they can get here sooner LEGALLY and not have to climb fences or crawl through tunnels in desperation, being preyed upon by unscrupulous "coyotes". Others left dead of heat prostration and dehydration in the deserts.
