Illegal Immigration? How are their views different from those of the Republicans?

I just need a kind of general idea about their sides. Which party, mostly, favors an immigration reform where illegals already here in the U.S. get citizenship?

They love it. It swells the population, which will help keep Social(ist) Security solvent as the Baby Boomers retire, and, since the children of illegals become citizens and are disproportionately 'minorities' (at least, once they reach the US, many of them are defined as minorities) who tend to vote Democrat, it gets them votes in the long run, as well.
The Republican view differs only in the reason they love illegal immigration: thier constituents are addicted to the cheap, worker-protection-law-exempt, labor provided by illegals.

It depends on which democrat and which Republican. There are very different opinions within each party. I think the most widely held opinion on immigration from democrats is that they are against it. But they would favor a path to citizenship for those already here as a means to integrate them, manage them, track them, and have a better background on them.

First posts are right, but generaly, republicans tend to be a little more strict on those matters

first poster is right.... depends on who you're asking.
Whether or not they are Rep vs. Dem makes little difference.
