132. I'm arguing for better immigration laws.
The laws as they currently stand are nearly innavigable.

Perhaps if we cracked down on businesses that hire undocumented immigrants and exploit them, created a legal immigration path that made sense, so people don't have to jump the border, made sure that civil rights laws were enforced, and sensibly dealt with the undocumented immigrants who are already here, and have families here, say by letting them come clean, pay a fine for jumping the border (it's an administrative violation - not a serious crime), have a path to citizenship if they want to work to earn it - in other words, not give away citizenship or the privilege of remaining in the U.S. for free, but making things fair), our border situation would be improved.
