Two-thirds of all adult undocumented immigrants have been in the U.S. for 10 years or more.  Graham Ellis is just one of millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. who have married U.S. citizens, have children who are U.S. citizens, are contributing members of society, and have committed no serious crimes.  The great majority of them originally left their home countries because they faced extreme poverty or violence, and they sought better lives for themselves.  It's the same reason for immigration throughout history.  Those of us who are sympathetic to current immigrants understand that history.  The rest have either forgotten it or never learned it.
