How is this undermining federal law?
"abiding illegal immigrants"...kind of an oxymoron, but I know what you're saying.

It undermines federal law, because federal law says they are supposed to be deported.

Spence, whet would you say to an ACTUAL law-abiding person, living in some oppressive sh*thole in Central America, who is playing by the rules and waiting for years for a chance to come legally? How is it fair to him that he has to wait, given that so many people illegally ut him in line, and now we reward those people? What would you say to such a person?

Here's what liberals, in general, struggle with...we're supposed to reward bad behavior, and encourage responsible behavior. This does the exact opposite.
