I could care less about the "better life" argument. The only reasons I am against the deportation of illegal immigrants are the facts that parents and children can be separated in the process and children who lived here most of their lives can be sent into an unfamiliar world.

I am glad that the US is becoming more diverse culturally.
I certainly am to, but illegal immigration doesn't have to be the catalyst for that diversity, and I definitely don't support the breaking up of families. But one has to wonder why people decide to emigrate illegally in the first place, instead of just getting a green card and following the proper channels. Anyone is welcome to live in the US, as long as they do it legally.
