No. If you disregard the law by being illegal already and have decided to not use the appropriate channels to become a part of this nation, then I say you already lost the priviledge to become a citizen.

They are not undocumented students, they have plenty of fake IDs. They are illegal alien students. As part of an immigration reform bill compromise, I would allow only those students who have been in the country for 10 years, who have an A average, and who can pass a thorough background check to become citizens.
All the other losers can go back to their native counties where they belong.

No. Just because you are here illegally doesn't mean you should be allowed to "cut in line" in front of someone that went through the correct, LEGAL process to become a citizen.
You've already stolen an education from this country. You do not get to also steal citizenship.

If they are illegal they shouldn't even be students. If they return home and get in the queue behind all of those coming in legally, perhaps they could be given the opportunity. We have to stop rewarding law breakers and bad behavior.

No why should they? The parents were the ones who put them in this position not the laws of this country. They need to start the process for legal status when they turn 18. Til then they are illegal and should not get special treatment.

the only opportunity I would grant them is a bus ride home and the option of going through the legal process of becoming a citizen/doc. worker and returning.

No. Absolutely not. ANY illegal activity should be punished, not rewarded. They deserve no special citizenship opportunities that aren't afforded other immigrants. Although I don't think they should be "punished" if they remain here illegally as minors, I am of the firm opinion that their continued illegal presence in this country, after they reach the age of majority/adulthood, constitutes a crime in itself. Those who engage in criminal/illegal occupation of a country should not be allowed any legal status within that country.

No, while most feel for those that are here because their parents broke our laws, in the end all amnesty brings is more demands for more amnesty

They ahve no right to be in ths country. THEY ARE ILLEGAL! It amazes me at how many people do not understand that. Why should we give ILELGALS anythin other than a bus ride home?

Nope. You broke the law by coming here, now go home. Why should you get to use our schools and services, if you can't even be bothered to do the legal legwork to become a citizen first?
