Illegals do want to be legal. However, the legalization process is very difficult, and takes years to complete.
I think that the process of legalization, definitly needs to be reworked.
God bless.

It's a friendly thought, coming from a simple thinking kind of mind/process. That's good! But alas, the situation is highly complex ...even beyond my vast ability to decipher. However, I predict:
There will be a middle road attempt. It will piss absolutely EVERY
Body off.
In the end a very few illegals will get in, many will get fed up and leave cuz they really don't want to be Americans. They just want to work ...and then if they can get freebies, those too.
WE stop the freebies, we make people pay, we doc the employers until later (those guys will be back) we stop folks at all the borders, we charge people more tax dollars to pay for all this. Have I left anything out?
It's a bad deal in all regards.
The illegals will be disliked by the US folks, the US folks aren't going to be well recieved by the illegals made legal. The Mexican Gov. and the AMer. Gov will be at each others throats. Americans won't go to Mexico anymore. Tourist crash. More poor Mexicans.
Get ready folks ...here it comes!

Well, if you gave blanket amnesty to all illegal aliens and legalised their stay without restrictions, you will immediately have probably no illegal aliens with simply one pronouncement. Problem solved. Solved? Not quite. Will you have stopped it from rearing its head again by doing so? Wouldn't you even make it extremely enticing to sneak into the country with the hope of a similar amnesty if the influx built up enough?
Again, it is an issue that goes to the voters, so there is a political consideration to make. You need to know which voters will be glad that you did so, and how glad they will be. On the other hand, which ones will be mad at you, and how mad will they be?
There also is the economic consideration. Supply of labour sometimes translates into increased production. Not always. You may need to be able to tell how much the new legal population will earn or increase the domestic output, and at what cost that will be.
So, clearly, the issue to give them all encompassing legality is beyond it being that they live off taxes of citizens.

How is it a win-win situation? The illegals obviously don't want to become legal, because that would mean they'd be paying taxes like the rest of us who ARE legal. Otherwise, they would already enter the country through legal means and not be smuggling each other through and jumping fences. Why would they want to become legal when they're getting all the benefits of living in this country tax-free by being here illegally?

Answer: Fairness, Infrastructure collapse and security. Adding a [Minimum] of 4% to the US population in one wave of the pen will overwhelm this countries [United States] social network, demean and dishearten those applying though the established process and give those who wish the US harm a hole right though our national security.
Imagine, overnight millions upon millions clamoring for food and aid, police protection, fire department services, housing, education.
Imagine, the immigrants who have tried to do it "according to the rules", have sat in lines, been questioned, gone to courts, swore oaths...only to be told, "Wait till we finish these other ten million".
Imagine, the glee, the self-satisfaction as .01 percent [1200] [of the amnestied populace] who are terrorists walk into multiple DMV's and demand license's to haul fuel, explosives.
Population growth is tied to community capability. All countries have limits on how many people they take in in a set period of time. Too many and you have recession, unemployment, social disturbance, violence. Too few and you have inflation, recession, social unrest.
Both are bad, which is why immigration must be metered.

Because there is a legal way to do it that should have been done in the first place. These people are not special. We do not need 20,000,000 illegals here for ANYTHING. They can leave and come back properly like my great- grandparents did. LEGALLY!!!!!!

Poor people can't pay enough in taxes to cover their family's education costs at $10,000 per child per year, much less pay for the other services poor people use. We pay for that, and it drains funds for the services we set up for our own people, and ruins our schools.
That is why we limit how many poor immigrants can come to begin with.

I am not so sure that they are going to jump up and give them amnesty.
If they do that...then the cheap labor will be gone as the once "illegals" are going to demand the same pay that US citizens once did the jobs for.

the problem is that most illegals, if made illegal will still be poor. The country does not need to import poor people.
