Most of the answers I read here state that they like LEGAL immigrants and have no problem with them. Then if illegal immigrants were given the chance to be legal, would you have any problem with it?

I meant ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

Yes I would support it. If they become legal then people can't use them as scab labor while they take jobs away from American citizens. They'd pay taxes just like we do.

The legal immigrants that have gone or are going thur the legal immigration process are Americans.The illegal alien that sneaks into the country and just by default get amnesty...No I would not support them.if they went back home and then came in the legal way ..yes I would.
Amnesty used as a reward for doing something illegal and not just once but constantly,is outrageous..To me it makes all the people that took the time and had the self respect to come into this country via the legal way.It makes them look like fools.
There are many differences to think about in this dynamic.I personally would never support an amnesty program.Not blanket amnesty.That's just wrong and an
a slap in the fact to the honest immigrants that did it the legal way.And an insult to Americans as a whole.Lets all circumvent the law,hell all the illegals do.

No.
There is a reason the immigration laws have quotas. The US economy cannot sustain the increased influx of poverty from other nations. If they were made legal, the employers hiring them would be forced to pay them minimum wages, and grant benefits. They would lose the one reason they are hired in the first place. Their undocumented status. If this crop of illegals were made legal, they would be tossed aside for new illegals, and we'd have a large number of unemployed, unskilled workers. And they'd be legal, so we wouldn't be able to deport them.

any immigrant has a chance to come over here with legal status- so any illegal should be here legally or go home

It really depends on weather or not they were still a burden on an already fully taxed economy. It's one thing to gain legal status It's another to start living as a legal citizen. If they were to gain legal citizenship and become a contributor to society instead of a drain on it than yes I would have no problem with it. The fact is my main problem with it as I have stated many many times is the fact that they are committing a crime and we are rewarding them for doing so.

Making a crime legal doesn't make it OK. There are reasons for the laws. Poor people will never make enough money to pay enough in taxes to pay for education of their children and for other services used by poor people. We pay for that, and the excess to legal amount is overcrowding, draining and ruining our schools for our own people.
If we could solve the problem going forward (and NO such proposal is on the table) I'd be OK with legalizing heavily screened illegals already here (no twice illegal and no gang members), but NOT to bring in family. We can't afford 4 more people for every illegal already here. Our schools and services are already failing.
However, unfortunately NO solution is on the table going forward. In my opinion it is because the elites have a vested interest not only in flooding the country with cheap labor, but in keeping them subservient and pliable to employers.
Call me cynical.

I by all means support illegal aliens returning to their county and applying for proper documentation to return to the America LEGALLY!
They must obey the laws and not be REWARDED for illegal behavior!
Why should they cut in line in front of all other immigrants that already have their applications in and have been waiting in line patiently?
No, that wouldn't be fair. They must start from scratch and the sooner they return home and apply the right way the soon they will be on the road to becoming a LEGAL American citizen.

If you mean they go back to their country and wait for the process to go forward legally, then yes, I support it. If you mean the blanket granting of citizenship to all the illegals already in the country, then I emphatically DO NOT support it. What is the point of rewarding criminals?

Depends, are they going to go back to their homeland to legalize their status, or are they going to be given the chance to do it without leaving?
If they are going to go bcak to their homeland to legalize their status, then I see no problem with that because they are going through the process. If they are Not, then I have a problem with that because it sounds like they are being rewarded for sneaking in.

If you are here illegally then you need to go. You do not have a choice because you are not a legal citizen.

No because they came here illegally. In my mind they will never be citizens if they receive amnesty. There's been so much anti-America and anti-white and anti-English that I will never beleive there isn't another motive for this invasion or be able to trust them.
