We can't afford it. We also do not want to set the precedence that just coming over the border is okie dokie.

They don't deserve anything..They come over here with a VISA and over stay, never go back to Mexico. They allow them to get a 1 day pass and you know they will never go back. Our Government is allowing them to do this, making a wall is nothing, all they have to do is get a visa or a day pass and they are in. Thousand's of them come to the US everyday. I have seen how they do it, no one stops them.
They already get everything in the US, they can get an house/apt with no credit checks, have 17 people or more live in a 1bdrm apt. They get cars without a US license and insurance. They get all of our jobs and paid in cash, The police won't touch them cuz they are illegal.
The one's that come here with a VISA or day pass all get welfare and WIC, that have kids. They get paid cash, they don't pay taxes or tell welfare they are working.
They shouldn't be allowed to have amnesty. They should be punished like the other people that try and come here to the US. If they overstay their visit they should be punished.
I know people have started businesses and other stuff, but why haven't they applied for a Greencard? or even renewed their VISA?
I know several Mexican's who are illegal, who have wives in Mexico with kids, but are also are married in the US with someone else. Some apply and get the greencard cuz they married american, then divorce them.
You don't know how many times they have been in Jail/prison in MEXICO and they are allowed to come to the US.
If they get Amnesty everyone will be coming here and wanting the same. Mexico is able to walk/drive over the border, but so many people around the world can't even get a VISA to come visit family and friends, but Mexican's are approved all the time for a VISA or day pass. If they are allowed amnesty is like an open door for others to come here. There will be more terrorists, more crime, and gangs M13 is a mexican gang, but they have more gangs. Everyone in Mexico basically has several machine guns. There is going to be more killings, rapes, child molestors and more. Next thing you know the whole country of Mexico will be in the US and Mexico will be empty!

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country
protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of
illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect
its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and,
once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand
the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me
in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds
and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've
done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest
(except for when I broke into your house).
According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must
add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide other
benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and
I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hard-working and honest, um, except
for well, you know.
And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing only a
fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it
without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being an anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, and I want you to learn my language so you can
communicate with me,rather then me having to assimilate to my new home.

So, what other criminals should we reward after that? Murderers, rapists, child molesters? How about when they become legal citizens then they have to pay taxes, so many won't Illegal immigration is less a securioty issue than a money issue. Our healthcare rates, taxes, insurance and so much more goes up while we try and pay for people who shouldn't be here.

I hve worked thirty years and gave up opportunities to party to be a responsible person. I wish for America to go to the next generation of Americans instead of kissing butts of Islamic and Mexicans who are illegal and do nothing but collect monies illegally and disrespect our country with their bull ****. Learn to succeed. Pay your dues dudes. Nothin will be free except jail. Thats my tax dollars too.

It mainly benefits Mexicans or other Central Americans which is unfair to people in Asia and Africa who can't just walk across the border. It is unfair to those people in other continents who wait in line and follow procedure if we allow Mexicans a greater opportunity to live here legally while they arrived here illegally.

I believe you should give anmestly to immigrants. If you did something "wrong", wouldn't you hope to be granted amnesty. Also, just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's wrong.

1.THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS.
2. IF THEY ARE GIVEN AMNESTY, WHY NOT JUST OPEN THE BORDERS TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE?
3. ARE WE JUST GOING TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON THE ILLEGAL STATUS? DOES THAT NOT COMPROMISE OUR RULE OF LAW?
4. WHY NOT ALLOW SUSPECT TERRORISTS IN AS WELL. IF NOT, THAT REEKS OF DISCRIMINATION AS THEY ARE ONLY SUSPECT AND NOT KNOWN TERRORISTS?
WHY NOT JUST THROW ALL LAWS AWAY, AND AMNESTY FOR EVERYONE, IF NOT, WHY?

Rewarding illegal behavior sends a signal to legal citizens to break the law if they think they can get away with it. And sends a message to legal applicants following the rules that they are fools. We are a nation of laws and we must NOT reward those who break our law.

They're here illegally; simple as that. Get your green card, obey the laws of the land, and be patient; naturalization takes time. Good things come to those who wait.

Illegal aliens must wait in line behind those little green martians who were here first.
