i don't understand politicians that want to grant illegals citizenship

do you live among them? if not, how would you feel if masses of them moved in next door?

how would you feel if they have 8 kids going to the same school that your 2.5 children attend, and every year class size is growing? keep in mind, they may or may not be paying property taxes (indirectly through rent) but because they like to cram 3 families into 1 house, they're not paying their fair share.

No. I feel bad if any masses lived by me. Generally I dont like people no matter color because they are competition. This is natural so I absolve myself by living rural. Still does not change the fact I understand them coming here and would do the same and feel very lucky to win USA lottery.

i mentioned nothing about color.
it is about not paying their fair share of taxes, cramming 20 people in a 3 bedroom house, blasting loud annoying music, loitering en masse at downtown street corners, not assimilating, coming here illegally.

-Many illegals pay their taxes. they are given a special ss code
-Many to do not want to become citizens. They just what the ability to work.
When you actually know some real people, families, and children involved you may have a little more humanity.

I have one friend that is an illegal from Mexico. She came here over 12 years ago. She was basically very poor, came here learned English, worked hard, went to school part time and graduated college. She's makes good money and has a child (that is an American Citizen) and is married to an American. Never been in any trouble, always as paid her taxes and there is noway for her to legally work here or become a citizen. but fuck her , send her ass back and that dirty little child right?

I've been here legally for about 8 years now and it's going to take me another 10-12 years to get citizenship at the current pace.

In the meantime, I can be deported for a variety of reasons (despite doing everything by the book for the past decade.)

Why should this lady you speak of get special privileges over me, and the thousands of other law abiding immigrants waiting in queue? Is there any use for my following the laws for the last 10 years?
