Yes, let's take in people who are too much of a coward to defend their own countries, let them in to ours so they vote for the same policies that ruined the country they are running away from. Seems brilliant, what can go wrong!
I agree with much of what you say, but you're still wrong, unfortunately. My own GF and mother of my beautiful baby girl is a mexican DACA recipient. Obviously I'm glad she is here, and I do believe we should find a way to incorporate DACA recipients at least, as it was their parents that committed the crime not them, and most are indeed the kind of immigrants we want. But empathy unchecked by reason is more dangerous than no empathy at all.
There is one simple but compelling reason why you cannot do this for all illegal immigrants. Incentives. Human nature. Human beings respond to incentives, it's simply a law of human action. Doing so would incentivize massive waves of future illegals hoping for the same treatment, and we cannot house and feed the world's poor, unfortunately. Ideas like yours completely ignore incentives and human nature. Its empathy unchecked by reason, and it's dangerous. Your heart is in the right place I know, but we cannot do this thing without causing more harm than good.
