Illegal Immigrants to be Rewarded for Breaking Law

[Mattress]

From the BBC:
US parties agree immigration deal

The deal would allow illegal immigrants who arrived in the US five years ago or more to be allowed to stay subject to various criteria, including a criminal background check.

Those who have lived in the US for less than five years but more than two years would be able to get a temporary work visa - but they first must leave the country and would be fingerprinted and processed on their return.

They would be given priority in applying for US residency over future immigrants entering as temporary workers.

However, under the bill, millions of illegal immigrants who have been in the country for less than two years would be required to return to their countries of origin.

The best part is if you have been breaking the law longer then you get a bigger reward!

I do think it should be easier for immigrants to enter the country legally and become Americans, but I don't think rewarding those who do not respect the current immigration laws is a wise idea at all.
