If not, why is it so important to you that they learn English?...Eventually you are going to get my point.

Learning the common language of the country is expected of an immigrant NO MATTER what country they are immigrating to, or coming from. It's part of assimilating to the country you are moving to.
And no, illegal aliens are not "legal" if they learn English, or any of the other conditions you mentioned. This is expected AFTER the immigration process, not INSTEAD OF. They can come if they follow legal channels like all other immigrants attempting to immigrate here now. They don't get to JUMP IN FRONT OF legal immigrants.

Legal immigrants have never been a problem in this Country or letting them stay here. The problem is with the 12 + million that are here illegal and have no right to sponge off our taxes, health facilities, Social Security etc. These include many criminals and they have no intention of obeying the laws of this land. The systems put into play in this Country to benefit those of us who pay taxes, work and try to live a non intrusive life to others are being robbed of our hard earned benefits. You are being robbed by these illegals my friend whether you believe it or not.

No person from any country who comes here breaking the law should be allowed to stay! If you are here and want a crack at becoming an American, do it legally or not at all! If America is to get a grip on who is in this country, there should be a large scale crackdown on all law breakers . They should not be here having babies and collecting section eight housing, free education, food stamps, and WIC at the taxpayers expense. The free ride stops here! The last free thing any lawbreaker should get at the expense of the American people.......... is a free ride back home!

Dearest zapata, please see Websters dictionary regarding the operative term here...ILLEGAL. All you profess is fine and good but these people broke the law by not following the proper protocol to enter this nation in effect placing an unfair burden not only upon the citizens of this nation but as well placing a debilitating stigma on those immigrants that have entered and assimilated into this culture LEGALLY...so sorry grasshopper.

Face it most white Americans think they are better than everyone and will always be looking for a way to show their prejudices. That flag and this country wont do them any good in the face of God. It's to bad people spend all this energy trying to keep other people down instead of trying to lift each other up. Oh and so everyone knows I'm white.

Dude, you're dreaming if you think they'd be willing to do ANY of that stuff. Let's be realistic. There is no motivation for their doing anything different from what they already do, which is to get pity to gain control of this country social system by social system and on to the political arena.
The real true issue is that they're freaking ILLEGAL. That's how it started.

We are not saying the illegals should learn English, we want them deported. Those that come here on work permit, green card or other legal means need to learn English.

Only if they become legal citizens. It would be the same as saying, "you do not need a drivers license if you can drive a car". If you want a civilized society with the rule of law, you must obey the laws.

If they are legal they can speak any language they want. However as I mentioned earlier, if they expect to grow and prosper then they should make the effort to learn the native language.

Those are merely the criteria that should be required for immigrants to meet in order to secure their citizenship HOWEVER that is not the issue at hand. The problem is that these people broke our laws and demonstrated their willingness to cheat the system at the expense of U.S. citizens. Taking this into account, they should NOT be granted citizenship until punitive measures have been taken upon them AND meet the criteria above.
The people who have been waiting in line (for years in some cases) to legally obtain U.S. citizenship should be given priority.
