Don't you think that's kind of a myopic view of reality to speak of the descendants of illegal immigrants as though they weren't natural full born legal American citizens who are completely entitled to make an educated vote against an ever-shrinking old white male established hegemony that childishly refuses to represent modern reality and values, be it George Bush, Romney or any other stereotypical republican who's destroying your country purely for political gain. |

If my father robbed banks and amassed a great deal of money that he bequeathed to me... am I entitled to that money?
Are Bernie Madoff's family members entitled to what he acquired through his illegal schemes?
I find your definition of "entitled" to not be in line with my own. Further, my guess is that your "because they're already there" argument falls apart if you're talking about the land that the Israelis occupy.
ever-shrinking old white male established hegemony
For a side so vociferously opposed to racism, I find that dividing people based upon race is one of their most frequently-used arguments.
modern reality and values
If "modern reality and values" are equivalent to what causes Mexico to be such a crappy country, then I'll stick with the old white guys' reality and values.
So we have Mexico, a country whose culture is irretrievably steeped in corruption and ignoring the rule of law to its eternal detriment... and yet the people of that culture who created that culture are to be encouraged to come to the USA without restriction and without hope that those people will absorb the existing culture that led to the success that draws the Mexicans here.
Further, the very corruption and ignoring of the rule of law that led to the malaise in their society is the first thing that they use to get and stay here. Nice.
