He was right. Sean has been wrong and now sees some light. Republicans need to get this fixed and get rid of the racists who have been absolute suicidal maniacs on this issue.

needs to evolve on this issue--along with a whole slew of other conservatives.
I (used to) like to listen to Michael Savage, but he always made me cringe when he referred to illegal immigrants as "vermin." (or worse) No, they are simply people.
This is the single issue on which I side with liberals most of the time. Conservative views on this have been very harsh and universally offensive. (Especially if you include your own personal morality and Christianity in the thinking equation.)
1. Make a way for illegal immigrants to return home without harassment or jailtime. Then they can reapply for legal entry and wait in line like everyone else.
2. Children who were brought here under the age of 18 or born here should be given citizenship.
3. Felons should be sent back home with no fuss/no muss packaging. Unceremoniously returned to the Mexican government. No red tape. No hanging out in American prisons costing taxpayers money. Just booted right back over the border.
4. Make it easier--not harder--for immigrants to get into the country for work. The problem of employers wanting to hire immigrants OVER American citizens has to do with their ability to pay them less. Crack down on employers who take advantage of illegals so they can pay less and skip benefits and you open up jobs for Americans. It puts everyone back on a level playing field, competitively speaking.
