It would make our beloved illegal aliens feel more at home, wouldn't it?

You should make Spanish your other official language, just like Canada makes French theirs

HELL no!\n\nIf they're made legal they'd be eligible for more Welfare and all public services in greater numbers!\n\nThat post is very UN-AMERICAN!

No, I don't think there's any correlation.  The type of work that illegal immigrants do, precludes having a lifestyle that includes drugs.  Once an affront to your civil liberties is taken away, and we continue like sheep to comply, it's never given back.

If they are American citizens then they have rights that they can exercise. If they are illegal then they are here at their own risk. And the employers of illegal aliens should be punished. But yes I feel sorry for them too.

It should be mandatory in order to prove your sincerety. Assimilate or get lost... You wanna have a better life ??? PROVE IT !!!!! What a great idea.... Solves so many problems simply !!! Those sincere should be afforded the express lane( citizenship ) for their willingness to support their new home. No more than right !!! Those that disappear when the announcement is made, well, we pretty much know where they are coming from...Forget the wall, we would no longer need it.....

You are right.  But to add to your idea "to give them more rights"... THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What part of "illegal" don't they (those who are allowing these actions) understand?   I don't get it.  \n\nNo, I didn't walk out. ditching is just wrong. But some weren't raised in America with the same moral upbringing that we were.  I guess we should forgive and be sorry for them and give them money, housing, education to make up for their lack of morals......NOT!

No, no, and of course not. Illegal aliens are here by choice and they need to fight for their civil rights in their home countries. It also does not make you racist in any way to oppose invasion of your country, no matter what color you are or what color the invaders are.

sure why not, we should secure the border and legalize the ones that are already here, thats the most logical answer

Whoa!! That's something we don't have. We're too generous. Typical. Then they come into our backyard and start asking for equality. Let's put the breaks on, people! I'm not against the fact that Latins come into our country, the problem is that they should be smart and considerate and ask the US embassy in their country for a temp visa or something in order to get in. The US government would then check every certain time to see which person's time is up. The person involved should have a chance to choose whether to get full residency in the US or go home.

Well....all those people that live here illegally have had a taste of freedom, perhaps they should take it back to Mexico or wherever they come from and spread it around. We as a nation are not responsible for cleaning up the world. Sometime people need to stand up for themselves instead of running to another country and enabling their country of origin to continue with their corruption with the funds they send back.

Yes, I have heard this before and have read it in the news.  In fact, if the illegals who are presently in the US get that much hinted at "amnestsy," you can bet even more of them will no longer do the work "Americans won't do."  No siree!   In fact, there will be a new tidal wave of even more illegal immigrants than ever before to take the place of the "previous" illegal immigrants, all hoping to also receive amnesty in another 10 or 20 years.  This is just another carrot dangling in the faces of illegal immigrants.

Agree with you 100%.  To send them back is like playing with a boomer rang.  But then there are those that want to kill, nuke and other anti-human things you can do to a people of another nation.  I guess thats the way they take care of their own problems at home. you do have a good point.

It's a nice idea, but practically speaking, it will take a lot more than bringing our men and women home to where they belong to make a difference to the UK. \n\nI really don't think that the war in the Middle East is to blame for our troubles at home, the UK has been on a downward spiral for some time now and from what I see, this is caused by a total breakdown in family values.  \n\nBut with regards to the troops, you are right, they get little thanks or recognition and they are not paid nearly enough!  But whether they agree with decisions being made at higher levels, they are here to protect and serve their countries and I for one am grateful to the ones who choose to do this for people like me and the all of the ungrateful shites here.

The illegals scream exploitation to make them feel justified being here illegally.

If we open our arms to all poor mexicans we are sending a message... "Please come in and exploit our country, dont worry about our laws because we dont enforce them anyway."  If this happens we will become a third world country.  You cant just take all the poor people from one country and send them here and expect them to have better lives.  Thats just picking up the problem and moving it somewhere else.

Oh hell yes!!! This country is too soft, and we are paying big time!!! DEPORT!!!!

The scenario you describe could very well happen here.  Especially if illegals receive amnesty and are able to bring tens of millions more of their relatives from back home.  They will pretty soon become a majority - at least in places like California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.\n\nUnfortunately, most people refuse to look at history and learn its lessons.
