If there were no numbers, then there would be no policy. In other words, there are approximately 300,000,000 Chinese and 200,000,000 Indians, and 200,000,000 others who would like to work in the US. There has to be some kind of policy, or overwhelmed would not be an apt description of what would happen."
I would think at least half have a sad story
If we grant Amnesty for the many here-would not we be showing favoritism to one country? Is that against our laws to favor one nationality over another? So if others break the law and come-wouldn't they have good cause for a law suit?

Sweet-that is an answer maybe-there must be control.

Wow, I don't know where you got those #'s but I trust you know what you're talking about. It's pretty enlightening if you ask me. If these #'s are accurate or even close, I can certainly now understand why we would take time to get them their citizenship. How in the world could we accomodate this many more people in our country if it was an overnight process? Everyone has a sad story, this I'm sure of. Can you imagine what would happen to our unemployment rate, and how much our homeless population would increase? Just to mention a few of the devesatating effects. It wouldn't be fair to us or them. Yes I agree it would be showing favortism to endorse amnesty. How can we in good conscience give so many a pardon when we have so many that are waiting to do things the right way. It would be like patting the bully on the back and kicking the kid that is down. I don't know for sure that it's against our laws to show favortism in the sense of the word but it sure isn't morally or politically correct to do so, and many people base their support of illegals on these two factors. My guess would be yes to your last question, it only makes sense and seems just. Doing things right in this country counts for something, and if ones struggle to do right is second in line to criminal behavior, for what ever reason, I believe there would be grounds for a lawsuit. Very interesting thought to ponder. How much would it cost the American people if 20 million people decided to sue? Whew! That's scarey!

Basically, they are saying to us, "I live up the road from a nice big, modern, house. It has a pool, large acreage, and offers so much more than I have. Someone lives there, but if I go over there and start cleaning the pool, mowing the grass, keeping the house clean, do their cooking, then I can just move in with them, and they can't make me leave, right? They have so much more than I do. My children will get better food, a better place to live, they will pay for it, that's okay, right? I work really hard and can barely pay my bills or feed my family where I am right now, so if I move over there I will be better able to provide for my family. Those people will be required to help me take care of them, won't they?"
Does it matter that the people this person moved in with had to work hard to get that big house with the pool? Does it matter that maybe THEIR parents worked hard to buy that house and provide a house to hand down to their children so they DIDN'T have such a harsh life? Does it matter that the people who have that house have improved on it through hard work and maintained it in very good condition? Does it matter that THEIR children should reap the rewards of their parents and grandparents hard work, not someone who just decided 'I want what they have and I'm going to move in there and demand they take care of me and my poor family?' How is this right in any sane person's thinking?
Time to deport!! Head 'em up, move'em out!!!

You could be right. Many lawyers out to make a name for themselves and some money might pick that up. It certainly could be used. That question makes me more convinced that Amnesty is a no deal for Americans.
And overwhelmed doesn't half describe the picture I see now.

I see what you're saying, but if you had no restrictions, then it would be more chaotic then it is now; I think whatever country(s) border the US should have some sort of priority; then work it out from there...more restrictive unless you can prove that by your living and working here, it is somehow beneficial to this country; Hey, that's it! Have people write why they think they should stay or be allowed to live here and what will they do for the US in return?

How many people can America hold comfortabley and how many are here now? I think we would have to say no sometime. Maybe we have enough already. I don't know if saying no more is possible or not. I don't know why we can't.

People are not numbers, they are individuals. Peaceful people should be allowed to cross invisible lines without hassle from police.
