will illegal aliens still be pro-illegal after we give them all amnesty?

A bit off topic perhaps, but your question reminds me of Carlos Mencia's solution to getting all of the illegals out of the U.S.: \n\nWe should completely open the border. Then all of the illegals come up into the U.S. and it gets too crowded here and all of the people they were trying to get away from in Mexico will be here so they'll migrate North to get away again and they'll all be Canada's illegal immigrants and we can change the slur to from "wetbacks" to "frostbacks."

Unfortunately it will. Chavez must be having a field day and the USA is being looked as a dump. It's ashame many illegals live in the USA but maybe we could take into consideration dual citizenships if they want to get into the USA. I'm not against the hard working legal Latin Americans and I really thank them for helping but if you want to live here or stay here, you must choose: to stay here permanently or temporarily. The temp workers should get the visas like now but the gov't must keep an eye on them. If they want to keep on working, they must renew their visa. Each visa could have a special code where every time an illegal comes, they must stay the time necessary unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen.

It is.\nDo you mean the Illegals should get Amnesty?NO.

Apparently yes. Hey since you got here illegally you already broke the law to begin with so why not continue.

You should check 1986 (was that the year?) when a few million illegals got granted amnesty.  Now we are having the same problem.  So if the U.S. grants them amnesty, how many more times are new illegals going to pour in and do the same thing?  Look for research articles in library databases.  Find news articles, books, interviews.  Etc...

No not yet unfortunately, i hope they pass that because these illegals are causing this country money and some might say no they are not, but the way things are going it definitely will.  Either come in legally or go away!

Yes, more than likely. And it's possible if another amnesty is to be given to more illegal immigrants again, you'll have a _lot_ more home-grown terror cells before long! Trust me. Just watch and see what I'm saying!

Many people don't realize that we tried the amnesty thing in 1982(and several times before). Ronald Reagan signed a bill granting amnesty to illegal aliens with the understanding that any further aliens who entered illegally would be not granted this same priviledge. Now Bush and others want to do the same thing. When we will stop this. Is "This time we mean it !" enough ? It has to stop somewhere and now is better than later.\n\nI'm glad you mentioned the fake ID angle. Faking a Social Security card would get you or I thrown in prison with a felony.\n\nAnd language ? I work in a truckstop where aliens get a CDL license but speak no English. Nice to know that someone who knows little English can drive a 80,000 truck.

It will eventually subside after the government decides and announces what their plans are for immigration.  Yes, there are a lot of very important issues today, but this is one of them.  This issue needs to be settled in a fair and just way and the laws of the land, whatever they be, must be strictly enforced.  Giving the illegals amnesty can only encourage more illegals to come to the USA because they will see that as a tacit okay to them coming illegally and it will be encouraging to them by saying, "If you come illegally and stick it out - eventually you will get rewarded for it, just like those before you."

No.  We were both prior to this travesty.  It's obvious politicians from both sides are just trying to win votes from the immigrants, both legal and illegal.  \n\nWe have always accepted, if not always been welcoming to, legal immigrants.  I think it's a severe miscarriage of justice to grant amnesty to 11,000,000 law breakers.  It makes a mockery of the effort the legal immigrants put into earning their citizenship.\n\nAnd why is it incumbent upon us to accept these illegals? Have you familiarized yourself with Mexico's laws? They have made it illegal for anyone not a native of Mexico to have a job there.  What do you think the reaction would be if the US did the same thing?\n\nBy the way, is Mrs. Jeb Bush related to El Presidente Fox? It's a rumor I heard, but don't know if it's true.  (Serious question, not an accusation or statement of fact.)

Yes.  If the nation offers a war criminal amnesty, then they will not be prosecuted.

Should we give murderers who haven't been caught yet amnesty?  Or thieves?  Or drug smugglers?  Illegal aliens broke the law.  They should not be given amnesty.  Deporting them is probably not reasonable though.  So the answer is, we should cut them off from government benefits, because these benefits should be for people here legitimately, and give them the opportunity to become legitimate or leave.  Cutting them off would force this decision.  Further, we should highten the penalties for hiring illegal aliens to domestic businesses.  This way, even if we can't find them and resolve the issue on a personal basis, the pressure on the people paying them would effect a result.  At that point, if they don't choose to become legitimate, then deportation would be appropriate.  Most of them are here because they want to be part of this country, I would imagine, so they would probably comply.  Bottom-line: amnesty will only provide incentive for more illegal aliens to come.  The only amnesty that should be extended is for the interim time until they become legitimate.  And this should only apply to the illegals already here.

That is already an amnesty. If you serve you get your citizenship.

All of these illegals will eventually stay, become voters, if the DNC has their way, their population will continue to grow and they will become a voting block that has NO interest in our language, history, military, or patriotism, only the $$$$ that are available will be the main interest.\nThat scenario is not totally here yet, but it is lingering in the future if our national course of extreme liberalism continues to erode the very fabric of our nation.\n\nthe current state of the immigration laws is the significant rise in population that has, and will, continue to occur over the next fifty years. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an estimated 1.1 million immigrants, both legal and illegal, enter the United States every year. 700,000 of these are legal immigrants; 120,000 are refugees, and between 250,000 to 300,000 are undocumented or illegal “aliens” ( Baldwin, 1995). The United States population at the moment is roughly 288 million people. If this trend of aliens is not decreased, the population will reach 400 million by 2050. How many people can America hold?

No, you should stay and everybody else as well, but legalized. They are going to stay any way, so why not legalize them.
