Letters: Immigration issue stems debate

Am I wrong, or is a retired California judge advocating for making 11 million people (I think it’s more) who broke the law by coming into this country illegally citizens of the U.S.?

Coming from someone who was sworn to uphold the laws of the state of California and the United States, I find this troubling.

Reward them with citizenship simply because it would take, according to him, 20 years, cost $600 billion, collapse the housing market, cripple the ag industry and cost the economy $8 trillion. He also states that granting citizenship to who he calls undocumented immigrants, or illegal aliens, whichever is the proper term to use, would increase GDP by $1.2 trillion over 10 years and add 200,000 jobs.
