We would kick them out of America? We believe in taking those who came as children, and kicking them out of America -- the only home they have, and the only country they love?
This is our idea of justice? This is how we practice law and order here? This is just how we do it in America?
Somewhere in all this, we might just come around to realizing this is injustice.
But, we should think not only of the dreamers, but also of the others who came here illegally, and ask ourselves the same kind of questions: We would take people who came here because they love this country, and we would take those who came here to find jobs to support their families, and we would take those who endured trials crossing a border to be reunited with their families . . .
And, we would deport them? We would call them criminals and kick them out of our country?
Our idea of what a criminal is might not be too clear. Our idea of what justice is might be a little fuzzy.
