It seems like people think that if we don't give them citizenship they will all eventually announce that they are illegal and be willing to go back to Mexico. They won't do that. They will just stay here like they've been doing wasting our tax money. If we give them citizenship we get taxes. If they have already brought down the salary of our jobs giving them citizenship will not bring it down anymore. Also, you need people to do the lower class jobs. In this country all the people mostly have good jobs but, you need people willing to do stuff like working in factories and on farms-this is why we are sending all our jobs over seas but, if we get these illegal immigrants to do these jobs then, we have people doing them here and it won't mess up our economy because the people are living and buying things here helping our economy-not China's economy. Also, if we don’t give them citizenship we will have millions of undocumented people here. Also, another problem we have is entitlements and the working class has to pay for the huge baby boomer population when they get into retirement. It would help if we got more of a working class to pay for this. (read more here http://www.understand2008.com/standard.aspx?elid=78)
To summarize
They are wasting our money by not paying taxes.
You need people to do lower class jobs.
They will continue to stay here even if we don’t give them citizenship.
We must give them citizenship-it is the only realistic solution.
Also, last time I asked this people said that giving them citizenship is like surrendering. I don’t think it is because there punishment would be paying a fine and other requirements. This is actually more like a compromise.

You are totally correct when you mention sending our production over to China. This is exactly what happens, at least we can try to reduce the carbon footprint on an items production, whereas in Beijing...where you can barely breath......they have no care for emissions of any kind....therefore creating terrible global warming. Mind you....if Bush was to agree to limit their ...would be modern civilisation (said through gritted teeth) emissions...that would be a huge step forward.
Anyway...heres to more production and engineering in Britain

It is wrong, if they don't follow the immigration laws how can we expect to have them follow any other laws? Illegal is illegal period and should not be rewarded especially when there are people in countries all over the world waiting years on lists to get into our country the legal way. Giving citizenship will only encourage more illegal immigrants. The best thing you can do is contact your congressman and senator and voice your opinion. The trouble is too many people sit back and complain about it but don't do anything productive to make their voice heard. While the illegals take to the streets in protests.

There is a process for acquiring American citizenship. People are currently going through this process. Giving a very large number of people a free pass to ignore that process would only encourage many, many more people to ignore the process.
Thus, Amensty isn't /just/ Amnesty for current illegals, it's abolishing immigration law entirely.
And, less you think I overstate that, just look into the last Amnesty. In '86, Amnesty was offered to the aproximately 3 million illegals in America at the time, it was ultimately granted to about 5 million. In the 21 intervening years, over 12 million more have poured into the country illegally.
Amnesty of any kind, no matter how it may be dressed up as a 'compromise,' is not a solution. It can only make things worse going forward.

I not only do not want someone who broke laws to be rewarded with citizenship.
I want businesses busted for hiring illegals, I want all social
programs to require background checks so that no one illegal is gettin welfare.
I want it so people will not come here illegally ( well maybe a drug dealer still would be those can be dealt with ) because they won tbe able to get a job or social benefits.

U.S. Citizenship is precious and a gift that few people in the world get.
Why do i want law breaking illegal immigrants to get it?
If they want Citizenship, do what millions of LEGAL immigrants do. Come legally under our laws, wait your five years, and become a citizen.
I am proud to call people that do that my fellow American.
Why don't YOU understand that?

Giving them citizenship is rewarding them and essentially saying,it's okay to break our laws.
Deny them any help or reason to be here and they will go,it's simple really.

Very simple - they're criminals. If we start prosecuting people who employ illegals, they won't hire illegals. So if illegals can't get jobs here, they'll leave!

Gee, this same question keeps being asked in the same manner by different people. I'm thinking that this is some sort of campaign.
