I'm a pro-immigration grandson of four legal immigrants from the turn of the 19th century. But illegal immigrants are called "dreamers" or merely "undocumented," the inherent disrespect for the basic notions of sovereign borders and the rule of law infuriates even me.

Ok call me curious how was one a legal immigrant? Checked in at Ellis Island? This isn’t snark I’m just forgetting my history lessons.

Yes. Asked for permission to enter the country.

I've recently come to the US as a legal immigrant. The experience was nearly kafkaesk. Obviously fixing that would solve all illegal immigration related issues, but it'd certainly make advocacy for legal immigration more credible.

There's absolutely no doubt that our system for legal immigration needs to be fixed. I think this is what people mean when they say immigration reform

Depends on who you're talking about. A significant portion of the GOP these days seems to equate immigration reform to reducing overall numbers, rather than addressing problems.
