I noticed people pick one side or another. Pro or Anti. With these questions I am talking about ALL ileagal immigrants. Here are my questions:
Is there a grayscale to some people or is it just Pro or Anti?

Should moral standing be used to let illeagal immigrants become leagal? Moral standing as in what the government sets forth.

I don't want to know about immigrants, I want to know about the American citizens and thier point of view about the illeagal immigrants.

Sorry about the misspellings. But that isn't my question.

I know all that stuff. I am asking, Are people just pro immigration or Anti immigration? Are there people that believe that someone that came here ilegally can go to be legal if they are in Good Moral standing?

No, by definition, you are one or the other.

If you think that any person that has arrived in the US illegally should be allowed to become legal simply because they have broken NO OTHER LAWS, you are pro-(illegal) immigration.

However, while both sides believe themselves to be moral, only one side can correctly claim itself to be lawful.

I am against the way illegals come over to the country, and lie to get government aid that the tax payer pays for. I heard last night on the news most illegals have anywhere from 4 to 8 children. The more children the more government aid. Who is paying for that? We are. I am for legalization of these people. Not unlawful thieves, but someone who would make a good law-abiding citizen, and WORK for a living and not get paid under the table!!! Its as simple as that. Others may have their own opinion, as I am sure you will find out.

i believe we have a very good process which allows people to imigrate to our country and eventually becomes citizens. there are requirements: "To become a naturalized United States citizen, one must be 18 years of age at the time of filing, a legal permanent resident (LPR) of the United States, and have resided as a LPR in the United States for five years less 90 days before they apply (this requirement is reduced to three years less 90 days if they (a) acquired legal permanent resident status , and (b) have been married to and living with a citizen for the past three years.) They must have been physically present for at least 30 months of 60 months prior to the date of filing their application. Also during those 60 months if the LPR was outside of the U.S. for a continuous period of 6 months or more they are disqualified from naturalizing (certain exceptions apply for those continuous periods of six months to 1 year). They must be a "person of good moral character", and must pass a test on United States history and government. Most applicants must also have a working knowledge of the English language (there are exceptions for long-resident older applicants and those with mental or physical disabilities), although this requirement is not intended to be an onerous one, since the test requires that they read and write simple sentences in English, such as "The United States is a democracy". However, some applicants fail the language and civics tests, and others are deterred from applying for naturalization by virtue of the test requirement."

I believe you honor that you have the right to become a citizen. break the law to get and stay here and you should never be given citizenship let alone the ability to stay here.. respect our laws come here legally good.

well yeah people have to take one side or d other they are either pro or Anti but if you think about it we all come from immigrant families if you are gonna kick out all the immigrants than we all have to leave and give the land back to the Native Americans because they were here first before any of us came along. We took their land and we IMMIGRATED here so technically we are all immigrants no matter what . Now that more people are immigrating here it is suddenly not moral and we want to kick them out of our land. Well where was that immorality when we were taking away the land of those Native American? So when we were doing it to them it was ok but now that other people are doing the same thing to us it is now wrong?Well can you explain that??

We need limits on poor immigrants. Poor people will never make enough money to pay taxes that pay to educate their children much less pay for other services poor people use. In a social contract we taxpayers have agreed to subsidize our own poor and those poor we invite through legal procedures. Schools are failing and emergency rooms and maternity wards are closing in areas where illegals concentrate. OUR OWN PEOPLE deserve better than that.

How does 'being moral' make someone entiteled to take education funds from my children or to crowd overcrowded classrooms illegally?

And if they were moral, wouldn't they have waited in line and come legally to begin with?

Having said all of that, and with an eye to 'degrees', I think we need border security, immediate implementation of an exit visa tracking system, a worker database employers can check so they have no more excuses, and real enforcement. With that, so long as there was no guest worker program bringing more plus their families for us to support, I could support legalization of heavily screened illegals here, not to bring in family down line however. We can't afford 4 for every one here now, as happened after the 1986 amnesty.

Heavily screened means NO twice illegal (other than simple traffic citation type fines, drunk driving being more serious) and NO GANG members. I don't care if 'it isn't illegal just to be in a gang'. We get to pick who we want and we don't want them.

My 2 cents, since you asked.

Moral standings are needed with illeagal immigrants however we should not have to go out of our way to please and help them. There are already legal ways to get into out country, so why dont they just use them it only takes about 8 years. In Mexico to become a citizen u need like 27 sumthing years and besides mexico hate immigrants coming in form there southern bourder so they just need to shut up

By moral standards do you mean by obeying the 10 Commandments or obeying the FEDERAL LAWS???

Well, illegal aliens have broken all of them and they need to be DEPORTED. When they file proper paper work to come back in with the government then they have a chance of becoming legal citizens.

DO YOU CARE HORDS OF TERRORIST ARE FLOODING IN ALONG WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS?

Laws are made by men. They can be changed by them also. Something illegal can be made legal and vice versa. See Prohibition.
The same concept can be applied to illegal immigration. Illegal -> legal. Poof. Like magic. And only at the flick of a pen.

Yes, I do believe Illegals should be able to become residents of the U.S. , providing they are good moral people. I see nothing wrong with it. I myself feel we need more good ppl here.

It is sad but some good people broke our laws to get here and even though they are good people they broke a very serious law, so my answer is no even though I hate to see good people suffer.
