The author has a good point -- but he's up against those who characterize illegal immigration as merely "undocumented" (as if shoplifting is merely "undocumented shopping") -- and the tendency of immigration PROPONENTS to cast the issue in terms of "whiteness" vs "people of color." It'll be difficult to resolve this situation as long as progressives consider "assimilation" a pejorative term.

The U.S. has millions of already vetted immigrants - "Dreamers" and long time residents - who should be given citizenship with very little fuss. Then we should proceed along the path laid out in the article.
