You have to love the intellectually and emotionally stunted.
We play the let the children stay, but we also by extension allow the parents to stay. This amounts to nothing but enter the country illegally hide long enough and you can win the lottery because a bleeding heart may decide to let you and your children stay.
In the mean time you can work for slave wages, no benefits. You can get a drivers license, medical benefits, low income housing in certain states. While those born in the country get less and less of the pie because it is watered down because we only have limited money to spend on resources.
