When the things in front of you in life reveal how messed up the system is, you lose faith in the system pretty quickly. You develop a contrarian attitude. Your instinct is to disagree with the status quo and then, if you can, to try and shake it up.

We should have a path to legal status for the 12 million people that are here illegally.

Not committing crimes and earn legal status where you're not cutting in front of the line for people that are patiently waiting outside.
