That is, until we start getting nearer to the next Presidential election. Trust me, as soon as the elections are over this year, you won’t be hearing anymore about “securing our borders”.

Recently, there's been talks about giving illegal immigrants a chance to become US CITIZENS before, like, Memorial Day. My jaw dropped. So all I had to do is enter this country illegally and I would be a citizen??? No fees, interviews, physicals, fingerprinting, waiting 6 months for every little decision ... All I had to do is sneak on the plane, and I would be granted this glorious opportunity? You are trying to make good points, but the bottom line is this: just because the US cannot deport everyone does not mean everyone can break the law. If I throw an empty plastic water out of the moving vehicle, I'll get misdemeanor. If I jack a candy bar, I'll most certainly turn into a "guy with a record". But wait ... I cross the border illegally and not only will I not get punished, I actually might be awarded citizenship papers!  CROSS THE BORDER!  ILLEGALLY! The fact that the US is a country of immigrants does not make it a country of immigrants RIGHT NOW. There's a well-defined set of rules everyone has to follow. I'm not saying "don't let anyone in", I'm saying "treat equally, track, and tax". I don’t have a problem being a white guy and discussing this issue.
