    If someone is in the U.S. illegally, they should rightly fear deportation, for they are here, duh, illegally. If these illegal aliens want to be legal and thus alleviate their fear, there are long established legal processes that will do that. Indeed, well over 1 million (!) people per year *legally* immigrate to the U.S. and become citizens.
