Of course. What he did is typical of countless numbers of people, especially people who grew up here and know and call America their home. The fact that the immigration laws on the books are so miserly in allowed admittees and absurdly long in waiting, in conjunction with the wide open borders, it is clearly schemed to
create a huge subclass of cheap, disenfranchised and powerless workers. I view the situation as obscenely immoral and abuse of law and policy and thus anyone being let in--and they are being willingly let it--ought to be legalised provided they can show to be good citizens. I include that cop whose infraction I don't count given the government has unclean hands with how he got here as a child and what he had to do to remain. Should the government either enforce the borders properly with a real intent to keep people out or amend the codes to allow proper immigration, or both, my sympathies will remain with people like that cop. As for those already here, they ought to be grandfathered due to the government's connivance in letting them enter.
