Should illegal immigrants be allowed U.S. citizenship? Why?

Answer 1

Easy question with and easy answer NO. Illegal means illegal. They did not come here LEGALLY so they broke our laws and now they want amnesty? No, get out and stay out. We dont need more crime, gangs, terrorists, or any more non-english speaking people who disrespect our laws and our flag. Kinda like how every hispanic person flies a flag in thier car other than the US flag. The only flag that should be flown here. Sure i realize your proud of your heritage and whatever but many of you have never even been to the country of the flag you have in your car. So what really do you even know about it? This is America. Not puerto rico, not mexico, not spain, or where ever else. If you dont like it here get out. If youre illegal get out. If you support illegals in any way STOP. You are a criminal as well then. This crazyness needs to stop. We are severally ruining our country and also greatening the chance of another 9/11 by ignoring the borders. We need more patrol down there and even a wall. The cost would be worth it.

Answer 2

No, they should not. I believe that to obtain U.S. citizenship a person must be trustworthy. If an illegal immigrant has already blatently ignored the process of becoming a legal citizen of the U.S. what will stop them from disobeying our country's law's once (if) they are a citizen? They have already shown examples of disrespect for laws if they are here illegally. Why give them a second chance?

Answer 3

OF COURSE NOT!!!!! NO! We have Laws and procedures already in place for that. Let them do what everybody else did! Do it the right way. Why bend a corner for them? If we fold to that, we might as well fold to the no dealing with terrorists and the like things too huh? Bending a corner for them doesn't make any sense. It would be an insult. An insult to the Border Patrol agents who die out there, an insult to our Laws, an insult to the people of the US and an insult to the country herself. Doing so will not stop it hence, it would just encourage more. Guest worker programs = amnesty; amnesty would be bending a corner and bending a corner IS an insult. We must uphold OUR policies on OUR turf.

Answer 4

No. They have broken both federal and state laws and all immigrants know if you do that then you will get deported. I work with all differ kind and race and immigrant and hearing the way they talk about the illegal hear make me embarrass about my government not doing a thing about it.

Answer 5

No. They crossed the border illegally. They did not ask permission to come here to work, visit, etc. They are a drain on the economy as far as the use of public services that legals pay taxes for. They are using illegal documents to get paid, many times not paying in to taxes, and causing social security money to be misused or not tracked right. They are here with the idea they partly own this country and are hearing they are going to take it back. If they aren't willing to be here legally, they don't deserve to be here at all

Answer 6

The majority of illegals not are not criminals. They are hard working people who are willing to work harder due to the poverty and hardships they have expierenced in their old country. They are more likely and willing to work longer hours for a lower pay, but on the other hand most citizens are not willing to do that. They are not willing to sacrifice time with family and pain to feed their family. We must understand that the only thing these people want is a better future not for them but for their children. Thats why there busting there *** 40-60 hours or even more so their little children can go to school and become professianals such as docters so they dont have to kill themselves trying to support thier familys. And if doing what every single person in this country is so wrong then too bad. Every single person here is an illegal. All you people saying lets deport the hard working illegals because they are doing what our great grandparents did, trying to get a better life for their familys. I hope you understand that illegals are like you and me. Why must we persecute them like we persecute every black person, every person of muslim or middle eastern descent. WHY?? NOT EVERY BLACK PERSON IS A THIEF OR ON WELFARE NOT EVERY MUSLIM IS A TERRORIST NOT EVERY ILLEGAL IS A CRIMINAL!!! Why must all you people be so ignorant and such hypocrites? Why are we always preaching about Martin Luther King and other great leaders, like Tupac said its time we stop talking about them and start acting like them!

KEEP IN MIND A 13 year old wrote this
if a 13 year old can be a good loving important person than why cant all the "grownups" be.

Answer 7

NO! We can not reward them for breaking the law. If you are in the USA illegally then you are a criminal and MUST be punished, not given citizenship.

Answer 8

We allow the Mong population of this contry to apply for citizenship why not any other illegal immigrant group as well. If they are legal tha will mean they are paying the fair share in taxes a SS. So why not.

Answer 9

No. Because they are illegal. Let them come here according to the rules WE have in place-- not the ones THEY want to implement by sheer force of their numbers in the streets and the volume of their bullhorns.

The Hmong fought for the US in Vietnam against the Commies at great danger to themselves. We owe them a debt of gratitude for that. How many illegal Mexicans fought for us in Vietnam, hmmmm?

Answer 10

No, they came into the country illegally, to excuse them of their crime and rewarding them for it, would only promote others to do the same. It also would be rude to the people that applies to be legal citizens and followed through with the procedures.
