I understand why we might want to give illegal immigrants legal residency here. Racist and dishonest employers abuse illegal immigrants because they know they are afraid that if they complain about the abuse, they could be deported. IF we legally acknowledge them, we would end this cycle of abuse. I don't understand why we should give them an opportunity to be a citizen. They are not the most desirable to become a citizen, because they already broke our laws. If we give them residency, we are giving what they want most, a higher standard of living. We promised them nothing, unlike our legal immigrants. They were warned not to come here, by the fact we made it illegal for them to be here. Any abuse they recieve was partially caused by them disregarding are warning not to come here. Why we should give them our greatest gift, the right to vote. I acknowledge they have rights, and giving them residency would fulfill that.
