Those who argue that legalizing America's undocumented workers and students would be "like a slap" in the faces of those who "waited in line for their turn to come here legally" don't seem (or are just too ignorant) to realize that just like family secrets; every legal immigrant family has one or a few illegals hiding in their closets. What I mean by this is that every single undocumented person you might come in contact with has at least one relative who is a U.S citizen or Resident.
In some instances, the ones antis "don't mind because they have papers", legal immigrants, are understanding, supportive and loving of their beloved undocumented relatives. Every time there is new talk of a potential legislation that could change our statuses, our lives, they hold their breaths and pray alongside us; they know why we are here and it's the same reasons that made them flee home too.
So next time someone tries you sell you the "back of the lines" line, just remember that they wish they could wipe out that (nonexistent) line and shut the doors in everyone's faces. But thank God this is still America, the land where with a little work, dreams can always come true.
