This goes back to the question of what is "justice"?
Is it justice to award individuals privileges others have paid for and earned?

One of the things that annoys the shit out of me on the immigration issue is that we never deal with it in terms of what will improve our country over the long run.
What do we need for immigrants in the next 5 years, 10, 50 years ?
What roles do we expect these immigrants to play in society and the economy?
etc.
We should really think and discuss what we need for immigration, but we don't. Our government doesn't lead the discussion, and they should be.
