"Under our current immigration system, illegality--which is not good for the individual or the society--must be replaced with legality--more specifically, more legal avenues must be created so migration is safe and orderly, and those in the shadows now should be given legal status so they can come out of the shadows, identify themselves to the government, and begin to become integrated into American society.
As a great nation and as a country of immigrants, we can no longer accept a status quo that tolerates a permanent underclass of human beings without rights and the opportunity to fully contribute to the life of the nation. That is not what America stands for and certainly is not what has made us a nation of equal justice under the law."
