Illegal Immigration

I have a hard time understanding how we as a nation have fallen into controversy over illegal immigration. According to Webster's, "illegal" is defined as "not according to or authorized by law : UNLAWFUL, ILLICIT; also : not sanctioned by official rules."

I do understand that we can have a debate about what we want our immigration laws to be and we can argue about the best ways to enforce those laws. But why are we debating whether illegal immigrants have the same rights as citizens?

We need to either enforce the laws we have or make citizenship easier. But, please, let's not pretend that illegal activity is worthy of reward.
