	Pam Keith on Immigration

Come to terms with 11M illegals as part of our society

There are some 11+ million people currently in the United States who have either over-stayed their visas, or have entered the country illegally. These people live in our communities, go to our churches, raise children who attend our schools, and contribute to our economy through both their purchasing power and extremely valuable labor. Indeed, some industries would simply not function without their work. Many have lived in the US for years, and are integrated in families made up largely of US citizens.

We must come to terms with this reality. America has neither the will nor the resources to ferret out all these people and deport them. Let us therefore accept that these people are here, and will remain an integral part of our society. It is high time that we move past our political obsession with how they got here, and start a rational conversation about normalizing their status.
