Why? Why not deport them, put them in the back of the line, secure the border and open up the immigration process, make it easier for those that have been waiting to get in, I’m all for easy immigration.

You forgot some, like deport them to the end of the line while making it easier for those in the front to get in, you can grant legal immigration status on par with those deported. After you secure the border of course.

I don’t see how stealing citizenship garners dignity

Are you calling me xenophobic? Seriously? The fact is generation after generation came here legally, the fact that there is a very large influx of illegal immigrants makes it difficult to justify letting in more legal immigrants, so the ones abiding by the laws are suffering for those who are not.
