There should be rights specifically associated with citizenship.
Non-citizens (whether illegal or legal) should not have the same rights. They should not be entitled to benefits of our government.
I say let people come to the country. Let them pay taxes for 10 YEARS before they can become citizens. Before that if they make even ONE mistake regarding our laws--go back to where you came from.

Yes, I do want their taxes. What they get is citizenship. It is what they want. They probably won't pay much in taxes, unless they are highly educated and skilled (but we don't let people like that in).

They don't. They don't have the right to vote, for instance.

My step-son recently got out of prison on a non-violent felony, and now he can't own a firearm legally. He is also prohibited from owning a crossbow, so make sure you can have one. He can have a bow but not a crossbow. This is in Texas. He has the same concerns as you about being able to defend himself against violent offenders.
