Actually, Congress gets to make that decision.

Obviously we cannot accept everyone otherwise we would have 1 billion ppl from Asia and India coming in for better lives.

At same time, deporting non criminal illegals is not compassionate. But does DUI, theft count as deportable offenses? I would say yes.

There needs someway for the current illegals to convert to legal status, I'd rather see the focus on this rather than the sanctuary discussions.
excellent

What part of "illegal alien" makes it ok to stay?
No sanctuary cities, towns or states. Just follow the established rules like all my grandparents did. Rules that are MUCH easier to follow here than say Mexico.
I'm pretty far to the left and I still believe the laws are for everyone
I remember a scam that involved illegals where they would be hit and run by another car of illegals to collect insurance, not to mention the ones who flipped houses and went back to South America a few years ago.
Illegal says it all. Sanctuaries are for those unfairly prosecuted, habeas corpus etc. Not people scamming
the laws of the US.
Btw... Ask any nurse how many illegals come here for operations and leave. Can you imagine Mexico or the Bahamas allowing Americans to do that?
