12 Million Of Illegal Immigrants Should Be Legalized
I think that we should do to help the best of these 12 million but they also need to help themselves. First they have to learn at least some basic english, and have their backround check with no criminal history. The reason why I think we should help these people is because they are hard working individuals with families to support and their countries are extremely poor. Like in Mexico the minimum wage is 00.60 cents per hr. I mean these people have no options if they would they would not be coming over. What do u think?

Ok, you deport all the 12miliion, illegal immigrants. What do you think will happen to US economy. Now that our economy is soaring and Europe is booming then those illegal immigrant will go to Europe and make the Europe more stronger than the USA. The problem is you think that they commit crime but think what will happen to our country if those people are gone. Not all American citizens or legal immigrants wants to wash the poo of old people, wash your car, clean your house, take care of children, farmers. Can you do those jobs? I guess your answer is no. Some American are lazy too even when you say why not give a job for American's too. Don't you see a lot of American citizen are homeless. Why not resolve other problems other than this issue. Illegal immigrants are hardworkers, they do everything to please you and you won't find that to American citizen nor legal immigrants. Think about that.

I think that we should help them and legalize all of them. They have just as much right to work and support their families as anyone else in America does. This is the land of the free and the land of opportunity...or so they say. It is the land of the free and the land of opportunity as long as you are white, middle class, educated, and American. However, if you are another race, minority, or culture, you are not free and you do not have the same opportunities. I think we should help them learn English, help them get work, and help them get legalized. As long as they are not committing crimes and hurting anyone, why shouldn't they be legalized? All they want to do is work and support their families. Is there something wrong with that?

I am for amnesty. It would be utter chaos and more money than our country can afford to spend at this time to make a nationwide attempt to deport 12 million illegals. I say grant amnesty at this point then establish the proper immigration laws and enforce them going forward.

Give me a break! I already pay almost one fourth of my paycheck a year in taxes that go to people who are legal citizen's who don't work. There are many times in which people have to understand another language in order to get what they need. Telemarketers call at all times of the day and night and hardly speak a lick of English! I am tired of paying for other people. Tired of complete strangers living off of my income, living off of the money that I should be able to use to raise my family. My forefathers were immigrants, no one helped them pay for food, school, clothes or anything else for that matter. They busted their asses so that they could provide for their families and you know what happened? None of us ever depended on strangers to pay our way through life... Giving is NOT
the answer here people! It's demanding that if you come into the country that you have to work for the country. Find a job and get your own paycheck!

If the illegals want to come into the US legally, I'm all for it. But to take the 30 MILLION illegals that are in our country right now and just making them citizens, can financially wreck our economy. Our prisons are busting with illegals right now the figures are reported as high as 35% of the prison pops are illegals Many of the illegals come to our country to take the money and run, they take the money from us then run back to Mexico and live high off the hog. They are not just taking menial jobs either, they get into union jobs (which your supposed to be a citizen) making $35 a hour and in other trades up to $75 a hour. ON the jobs the illegals who were used to being farmers, just went to the bathroom wherever they wanted. In Highrise building, they do the same urinating in bottles and just throwing them on the floor and deficating in unfinished closets in apartment building. This doesn't even count the gangs that have popped up all over because of illegals and you can't let your child play at the park, for fear of harassment or just getting beaten up, for no reason. Before you guys in Europe make comment about something you know NOTHING about , maybe you should do some reading in something other than liberal papers that NEVER tell the whole story. My brother works for the Welfare Dept. In the US, you wouldn't believe the fraud he has to deal with.

Illegal is Illegal. If they abide by the law, whatever, I'll turn a blind eye. But if they break the law at all, see ya.

Ya sure i agree that only the ones that truly are willing to speak ONLY English and truly have respect for the country. Most immigrants are like" we are better than you so let us stay" Americans need jobs too

They should be deported. Americans are hard working, and being robbed of jobs and livable wages, not to mention our social services drained, schools strained and crime rates going up. On that note, any form of amnesty for illegal aliens is just OKing all the laws they break, starting with the federal crime of being here illegally. As far as our southern neighbor, their government needs to stop encouraging illegal immigration to the US and expecting us to fix their problems before we take care of our citizens. Legal immigration is good, as long as we have set a reasonable limit.

I’m sorry but just because your here to work doesn’t mean your above the law, There is a legal process that one must do to enter the country correctly, my family did it that way and that’s the way everyone should. If you pat them on the back and say its ok that you broke the law, lets just reward you and look the other way and say opps oh well, here’s your paper and no worries, hell lets just put up a sign come one come all we don’t care. Rules don’t matter here anyways.

Why in the world would we reward people who have proven they have no respect for our most basic laws? In 1986, we granted amnesty to 4 million illegals and said never again. Now we're talking about granting amnesty to 12-20 million illegals. In another 20 years, we'll be doing it for 50 million.

Enough is enough. No amnesty, ever. They are criminals and you do not reward criminals.

Are we talking America or Britain or any other country for example? I live in Britain, I'm a hard working college/mum/worker who goes out to work/college and still comes home to feed my child.my taxes that i pay go towards immigrants that come to Britain for our wonderful NHS (that is free) to our wonderful jobseekers allowance (getting money for sitting on their arses) and to all our other wonderful benefits. No i am against this argument.

What about the Americans who need jobs, food, or clothing? We should give these people help first?!? NO WAY!
