... or at least an unauthorized larp.
Are you serious. You make it sound like "We are from the government we are here to help". Can now be trusted. Iran-Contra was authorized, Fast and Furious was authorized and, IMHO, Benghazi was authorized. It didn't make them good decisions.
Good or bad doesn't play into what I said, only being an actual player rather some gamer playing people.
I'm going to nit pick a little, hope you don't mind. but people from all over the world dream of the chance to get to the US and abide and do their best to contribute. The sad fact is that unless they drop a baby on US soil they don't even get a chance to prove themselves. IIRC, after Reagan doled out amnesty for about 3 million illegals, the quid pro quo was that what you are talking about was taken off the table for everyone. That is why there is this dreamer issue.
So help everyone or no one? Where I live I help those I know to some degree when I can. Above that and everyone suffers. I feel no obligation to help strangers I know nothing about and someone sneaking in my backdoor is likely to get a baseball bat upside their head in their best case scenario.
I think everyone agrees, as long as there is due process, some might not need it, but I personally do. The thing is, in Q terms, that that isn't really happening anyway. It really just seems to me that the DS, TPTB or whatever you want to call them just found a cutting edge pacifier. Go on the net and let some steam off while you continue to dream of freedom.

Durham has expanded his investigation. To me, I've got mixed feeling. On one hand, that means we are being through, that's great. On the other, it means the can has been kicked down the road for at least another six months.

The ds took over 2 years to go after one man and got jack sht. A little more time may be needed for many people, foundations and organizations. Token body counts don't win a war and may tip their hand in further indictments. He has 5+ years to wrap this up.
limited naturalization to immigrants who were "free white person[s] ... of good character"
two years of residence in the United States and one year in the state of residence, prior to applying for citizenship.
