Basically we have only two choices:
1. Don't let them earn citizenship-they stay here like theyv'e been doing and wasting our taxes.
2. Let them earn their citizenship and pay a fine, learn Eng...... Then they pay taxes.
Which one sounds better and are there any more choices you can think of?

Also, the idea of deporting all the 12 Million illegal immigrants is unrealistic.
12 million is too many. Think about how many vehicles would be reguired and all the money it would cost if we tried it.

Also, like any new immigrants to this country they waould have to wait the same amount of time as anyone else and they would have to meet requirements.

Obviously option 2 is better, but I'm sure you will get tons of people saying that we should round them all up and either shoot them or send them back to Mexico, even if they're Guatemalan.

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.

If we absolutely must have amnesty (which I definitely don't want) then I would prefer two conditions to be attached:
1. Charge the illegals at leasdt as much as legals get charged for immigration. The last amnesty bill would have charged them less in some cases.
2. Let them have amnesty but permanently bar them from citizenship. So then they have the choice of accepting blanket amnesty or doing it the legal way and running the risk of not being accepted.
By the way, not allowing someone to be a citizen would not necessarily mean that they waste our taxes. I am not yet a citizen but I pay taxes. If illegals were given amnesty they would also, presumably be given a SSN under which to pay taxes.

No citizenship, no Amnesty, enforcement targetted against employers to encourage 'self deportation,' as well as deporting any and all illegals who come into contact with the legal system.
No, you can't deport all 12 million, but you can make staying a less and less desireable proposition for them...

option 3. Build the wall and deport them as we arrest them. Set up a task force that does nothing but raid illegals. Start with the sanctuary cities. Shut down businesses for a month if caught hiring said illegals. First offense. Tougher second offense. And by the way, I bet you could get a bunch of volunteers to haul them away if you bought our gas.

As soon as you do you will have 12,000,000 broke citizens of hispanic decent crying about how discriminated they are by white men in America. Who will suffer? Not the wealth white men who gave them jobs illegally in the first place... but the poor white guy who had no idea what was even going on.
I will agree to it if the companies who hired them agree to pay them their back wages they should have been earning as a U.S. Citizen. This way the burden doesn't once again fall on the middle class and poor white guy.
Just like I feel the children of old slave masters should have to pay for college tuition for black Americans instead of taking away scholarships from once again the poor white guy. But we can't do that because the children of the old slave masters are in office making the corrupt laws.

Are you crazy make them pay a fine?
What about making them go through the same process as legals green card then US citizenship? - or do you want to bypass the green card for them make it easier for them??
Option 3 They can work on a unskilled visa, and pay taxes on it, and apply like LEGALS to get a green card.
Your options are one extreme to the other.

2, the ones that have already lived and worked year for a number of years should be allowed to earn citizenship.

Allowing them to receive citizenship before LEGAL immigrants makes a mockery of legal immigration.
If you illegally enter the U.S. and stay for 7 years, that 7 years should not count as "waiting in line." It was 7 straight years of lawbreaking. No credit should be given for that time. Once the immigrant turns himself in, he should start at the back of the line. In no circumstance should he achieve his citizenship ahead of those who did things LEGALLY.
