Why not? Why can't we make it retroactive?

It would be, in my opinion as a layman, unconstitutional. If someone, such as, SZ, can demonstrate to me from case law why this would not be the case, then I would be willing to change my view.

If you are so willing to do this to illegals, then I would presume that you would have no issue with the government doing the same to you, correct?

Based on the law as it presently stands, yes, they should.

The real problem is a government that does not enforce its sovereign borders.

What we say should not be limited by the constitution.

I am not sure what you mean by this.

So you are a liberal, then? Only liberals make this sort of statement.

Yes, we could, and should, according to the manner in which the Constitution prescribes.
