Right.
Because that would be such a good idea, killing harmless people for coming too close to the border. It's always a grand plan to just kill anyone who's too annoying or might cost a bit of money.

Yeah, they were all here legally, seeing how they didn't break any laws to get in.

Really? Not one of your family members has ever broken any laws, least of all to get to the U.S.? You're 100% pure-blooded Native American, are you?

We vote. The whole point of protesting is to miss school and work and maybe feel as if they are taking part in something big.

The whole point of protesting is to give a voice to what is not being voiced. It's freedom of speech. If your family were in danger of being ripped apart, you would be out there protesting too. If the "liberals" were in charge and handing out charity money hand over fist, you'd be protesting too. Voting is not the only way to voice your dissent.

So your solution is amnsety? Fine. then I want amnesty from the next 5 years of tax payments. Why should someone who BROKE THE LAW to get here receive amnesty and I shouldn't?

1. What does that have to do with ANYTHING? My solution is NOT amnesty. It's reform. Some people should be kicked out, some should not. Either way, the laws need serious overhauling and rewriting. If we gave them a chance to be contributing citizens making a decent wage, they would be fine with paying taxes too.
2. THE LAW NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, THAT'S WHY THEY SHOULD RECEIVE AMNESTY. If you broke a law, and it was a poorly written/executed law, and you were caught and punished for it... but then they suddenly got a clue and revised that law... wouldn't you expect that you shouldn't be punished for it anymore?
