I think you mean amnesty. I don't believe in forgiving those illegal immigrants and letting them stay because it's unfair to the actual legal immigrants who went through the whole painstaking process of becoming a U.S. citizen.

i'm kinda mixed about it. i mean, if u come over here on a raft, learn the language and get a fucking job and pay taxes, then i don't give a shit what u do. but i can't stand the ones who have been living here forever and still don't speak english or work or anything...i mean, i can't just go over to japan and demand that i be a citizen and have rights over there just because i got there. ok so i know it's a little different but still... |
Personally, it doesn't matter if they do an excellent job of assimilating with the U.S. culture and contribute to society. One of the purposes of immigration is to keep track of who comes into this country. The point is they broke the law by coming into this land illegaly and by doing so they jeopardize matters of national security. People like that must be subject to punishment just like anybody else who breaks a law. This is no different.
