Look, I get why lots of people want to come here, but the fact is, the only people who have a right to be here are US citizens and residents. The immigration process being slow is not a good enough reason to just abandon it completely, break the law, and come live here undocumented. It's unfair to those who have followed the system.
In other words, the only people that have the right to be here are the people that have the means to jump through the hoops the government requires.

You might make that distinction, but the point stands that the people clamoring on about illegal immigration and are no in charge do not.
