Absolutely!!
They only wish to work here. There is a HUGE difference between wanting to live in America and wanting to be an American.
Our forefathers were PROUD Americans. These foreign people work here and send their money back HOME. America Will NOT ever be their "home."
Otherwise they tend to spend the rest of their lives in USA with the same benefits yet somehow maintain NO respect or ties to USA. They end up being people with NO COUNTRY and therefore should have NO worthy status.
I cannot even imagine what would make people live in a foreign country for 5+ years and NOT wish to be a part of it.

I thin k if you wish to live here you should learn the language. I do no agree with they should be allowed to be citizens without speaking more thatn just the pledge. in 5 years. learn the language..........use the language.
Ballots for elections should not have to be written in 7 languanges, and not the test for citizen ship, Also no state or federal aid for non American speaking persons or non citizens. Enter the stated the legal way.
As an American, I would like to receive that Aid. When out of work for 4 months, My daughter was a cancer survivor an d was not eleigle fo any help nor was I , We (2 children and myself) existed on the small amount of unemployment I got and the help I got from the food shelves (could not even get food stamps) I dare anyone to live on that amount and keep up with electricity, rent, etc bills. No help unless you get a turn off notice or eviction notice, then they would "try" to help..but immigrants, many after being here for over 5 years, still get food stamps and paid rent, medical bills taken care
of etc.
we All need to contact our lawmakers. We are allowing ourselves to be the victims because we want to be politically correct.

Sorry, just posting b/c i see some stupid people that answered you. People complain about illegal immigrants, illegal immigrants commit less crimes due to the fact that they're afraid to be caught. They do the jobs that most people don't want to because they don't have a choice. And one huge important fact is that the only people that are not immigrants are the native americans. All other americans are immigrants, and on top of that, I'm pretty sure that the natives didn't want anybody else here, but we still stood. The only reason i agree with immigration laws is because of overcrowding. BTW, I don't think most people that are born here know much about the government and history (besides major things). Most people couldn't give any dates for anything.

They began accepting applications for legal residency under the Obama administration’s new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. It has not been very successful. The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 streamlined the naturalization process for children adopted internationally, they could be illegal aliens living in the US. A child under age 18 who is adopted by at least one U.S. citizen parent, and is in the custody of the citizen parent(s), is now automatically naturalized once admitted to the United States as an immigrant or when legally adopted in the United States, depending on the visa under which the child was admitted to the U.S. The legal system is very difficult to understand, and whiffle-wafles all of the time. Does that answer your question?

I get the impression you know nothing about the existing naturalisation process -
1. Existing rules require a minimum residency. I had to be in the USA for 5 years before I was allowed to apply for citizenship. Cuttting that minimum requirement would make naturalisation easier.
2. The naturalisation process includes a requirement for applicants to demonstrate a knowledge of the history of the USA and the structure of it's government.
3. The final process in naturalisation includes reciting the pledge of allegiance.I recited the pledge in the Sandra Day O'Connor courthouse in central Phoenix - one of the best days of my life.

No, I think all illegals need to be sent back to country of origin, then they can come to the U.S.A the right way, with paperwork through an American Embassy or consulate.
PS. 5 Years after they get here legally I'll be glad to see em be naturalized Citizens.

no. I think if they are here illegal then they should be deported. To many people send allot of money and yrs of waiting to get here the proper way. Like my wife. She is here as a immigrant. But she is here properly. And it has been 11 months and waiting for her permanent resident or green card. It took use a yr to get a fiance visa. She is from Philippines.
I believe come here legal and you get all the rights you should get. Being here Illegal then you should not be able to stay here ,not a day. because If I break the law I pay for it. But some break it and believe they should be treated special.

No because in five years, they can have about 4 kids that my tax money would have to support and they wouldnt have to get out at all. OR in five years, they could marry an American and become legal then. They shouldnt cross the border until they get all the paperwork completed to be legal.

Deported.
What, illegal immigrants get to cut in line and be citizens while thousands of other people have been waiting for that right for many years?

No, it would be ok if they made a class that had no chance of becoming a citizen but just worked for a few years.
