I'd say replace 'opinion' with truth above and you're correct :)

Regardless of opinion the truth is America at this point in time is a
sovereign nation just like Mexico is.  One of reason we have laws is to
eliminate the 'my truth' versus your 'truth' issue.  The law is the end all
truth and we have a court system to wage that battle in.

We have reasonable immigration laws that are less strict than a lot of other
countries.
Those laws being broken (it's undeniable) and have not been enforced
federally like they should be most likely due to big business interests that
want to continue to exploit those people.

The unfortunate side effect of that exploitation is that a lot of Americans
have been displaced from their jobs and it has placed a tremendous burden on
State services (that we can't afford), it has lured a lot of people here
illegally, and now those people feel 'entitled' to be here because of the
lax enforcement in the past.  It is unfortunate that enforcing this law will
break up families in the same way it is unfortunate that other crime
enforcement breaks up families.

My hope is that somehow the pressure goes where it should be - ON MEXICO -
to make life there as attractive as it is here.  The Mexican people deserve
better there!  They shouldn't have to come here to have a fair chance at a
good life.
