Giving them a path to citizenship is the least that we could do, these countries are unstable and dangerous in large part due to centuries of American intervention that continues to this day, otherwise why else would they risk their lives to migrate to a country where so much of the population is irrationally hostile towards them? Of course if the Latino population grows enough they may actually amass enough voting power to force the government to stop meddling in Latin American affairs, and that's just unacceptable...
