They are called illegal for a reason. Persuasive is correct spelling, friendly reminder...
I think that just because there are tons of illegal immigrants that we should change the face of the united states. I don't want English as a second language in California (where I'm from) and it's already starting to happen here in the Fresno / Visalia region, which is 10 hours north of the border... i.e., they are putting English/ Spanish menus at McDonalds, and other fast food chains, dual-linguistics categories for the local stores like WalMart and FoodsCo, and I really never learned Spanish nor do I intend to, but the way things are looking, if illegal immigrants are granted citizenship, we would be in some deep doodoo.
If the governator had anything to do with anything, it's that he's not being the "regulator" of laws that he is supposed to follow. We could always build the fence borders to Mexico and Canada lined with 10,000 volt fences, that might help for a little while... plus, if that fails, then put a secondary brick wall 700 feet tall. We'll see what happens from there.

The answer is no. Many legal immigrants have to work for years in the US under a H1 visa and then spend time/money applying for a Green Card. These people going thru the proper channels should be allowed to be PR or citizens if they choose to.
Do you know that while Mexico has an open border to the north, they have a tight border patrol to the south?. Do you think Mexicans have not deported illegal migrant workers?. I have lived and worked in Mexico for 2 years (Sonora). Every nation today has immigration laws, different but they exist to protect the rights on their nationals.
No country in this world provides free immigration to illegals, it is opening pandora's box. Once this happens, its saying to people that your nation does not have rules or laws.

If illegal immigration were stopped going forward, that could be looked at for screened illegals (no 'twice illegal' and no gangs) but right now with more streaming in every day, we have to look at the message that sends to people coming. Crossings went way up when Bush started talking about a guest worker program and people picked up said they were 'coming for the amnesty'.
The reason immigration of poor people is limited to begin with is that poor people can not make enough money to pay enough taxes to cover their family's cost in education and other services poor people use. We provide universal education we subsidize for our own poor people, and live next door to a country that does not do that for its poor people. Our schools are failing and emergency rooms are closing due to the mass of impoverished, unskilled and uneducated illegal immigration. We need to take care of our own people.
But we aren't heartless. When there were a few hundred thousand we carried, we ignored it. When there were a few million we gave them amnesty, only to find that those amnestied often became 'bases' to bring in relatives and friends illegally, thereafter. How do we address that if we legalize the 12 to 20 million here now?
Our schools aren't just STARTING to fail, they are currently failing.
What shall we do?
I say we have to solve the problem by removing the benefit and employment magnets that draw them here, and track visa exits and operationally control our border.
I am not into 'mass deportations' of the good sort who have established lives here, but I think we need to solve the problem before we can legalize, or we will only make it worse.
And that won't be good for anyone, including the illegals of the good sort whose schools, frankly, are the ones most impacted.

Yes definately. My husband is a mexican. He does not have papers , but he is a really good person. He works hard, does not cause problems for anyone, loves to help people in any way that he can, great husband, great father, Yet, He can not file taxes, or buy a house or new vehicle or do anything else that requires a social security number and papers. it's not fair that someone who is such a great person can not do so many things just because of lack of a piece of paper. But we have U.S. citizens that can do what they want- and too many of them are nothing but lazy drug heads that do not work, sit on their butts and do drugs, drink, beat their wives and kids, live on welfare, etc.- yet they are aloud to stay in this country and do these things with no problem, only because they have papers.

Persuasive- that's how you spell it.
There is a proper way to do it. They can apply for a visa as long as they are coming here to work and not live off of Welfare. I have not problem wiht immigrants wanting to stay here, Mexico and other countries just don't have the resources for people to live the way they want to that's why the chose to leave. But in order to get here they have to go thru all the right channels and be here legally. The channels are not hard, just time consuming. I bring people here under a guest worker program and they return back home with a whole bunch of money and they have asked how they can stay here legally...forever. I show them the website and I always tell them to do it this way so that they don't have to be looking over their shoulder all the time. I also encourage them to learn our core values here in American and I really encourage them to learn how to drive and how to speak English.
But if they are here illegally I don't think they should be citizens. They just need to apply for visas which could get taken away after commiting crimes and failing to participate in required classes to learn English

I think that anyone that wants to become a US Citizen should have to go through the proper channels. It may be difficult and expensive, but we have laws for a reason. This is a frustrating topic for me because my husband is not a US citizen, but we did everything by the book. Meanwhile there are people just waking into our country and getting free medical service, among other things. If I wanted to emigrate to another country, I would have to follow their laws, so why shouldn't people coming to the us have to do the same.

Yes, but first they have to go through the right paperwork, people just don't jump from being illegals to become US citizens, they first have to become Permanent Residents and have a clean record, so when the FBI check their names it can come back clean. So after a few years proving that one is eligible for citizenship then yes, why not?

Yes, but only if they adopt the American values. The economy needs them and by becoming legal they will pay taxes. Think about it there are 20 million or even more that do not pay taxes now. It would be a smart decision and everyone would benefit of it if only is done the right way.

You do not give someone who is breaking the law the opportunity to be excused. Illegal immigration is ILLEGAL, they should be charged prosecuted and convicted, then denied becoming US Citizens, because of willfully, and knowingly breaking the law.
Other who have not crossed illegally in the pass ( that we know of) and or not felons, may be given the opportunity to go through the legal process.
