Most Americans feel it doesn't make any sense for people to come into the country illegally, give birth and have a new U.S. citizen. But the advocates for illegal immigrants will make a fuss; they'll claim you're punishing the children, and I suspect the leadership doesn't want to deal with that.
break bring cases france giant happens immigrants law march millions people population rest saw seen somehow time work
Each time immigrants have these giant rallies, the more they infuriate the rest of the American population with the idea that those who break the law get to march and somehow be rewarded.

People should feel uncomfortable about breaking the law. If we have a policy that is demonstrated to be consistent, many people will get the message and decide that remaining here in the United States illegally isn't worth the price that they have to pay.
entirely happen illegal stopping
Stopping illegal immigration doesn't happen entirely at the border.
admit people
Why admit people with TPS if you know they're never going to leave.
broken law people primarily represent rewarded taking views
Obviously, these are well-orchestrated, well-organized rallies that are taking place, and they represent the views of the people who are out there, primarily people who have broken the law and want to be rewarded for it.
We think this could be a major, precedent-setting case.
conditions create encourage million people
You have to create conditions that encourage people to deport themselves. We didn't get to 12 million people overnight. We're not going to get back down overnight.
