admitting immigrants in a coherent, orderly, legal manner, with an eye first to what America needs.

Agreed. We could start by setting immigration quotas that are sufficient to absorb a significant portion of the demand. Then gains some security over our borders.

the march itself, I think, violated the old immigrant politesse--the general understanding that you're not supposed to get here and immediately start making demands. It would never have occurred to my grandparents to demand respect. They thought they had to earn it. It would never have occurred to them to air mass grievances, assert rights, issue a list of legislative demands. Especially if they were here unlawfully.
