Nickname: illegal that pays taxes

Review: I definitely think that we need a solution for this immigration problem, something to give legal status to all of us "illegals". Think about it, if you make us legal, we will all be in the legal system, so you can root out the undesirables. To all the people who say "Why don't they do it the legal way?" Do you have any idea how hard the "legal" way is? Theres all these fees and an extremely long waiting period. People don't have the money and when you need food for your family, you need it NOW, not in 5 plus years.

Review: Hi, friends, I am 100% Mexican and I support illegal immigrants. Let me know how many people are here without their papers and want a better life. It's unfair that they are discriminated against. I'm just saying we ought to have a little respect for those who have the worst jobs. And we should support them.

Review: What a slap in the face. My mother came to this country from Panama nearly forty years ago. She has held a job here since she was 18 and raised a family here, just as the illegal immigrants have done. The difference between her and the illegals is that she came legally. She obeyed the laws, jumped through the hoops, and earned her citizenship. Never did she ask for someone to hand her citizenship. Yet when she was naturalized in 1987, she stood on a football field and took the oath with thousands of illegal immigrants receiving amnesty. What a slap in the face. People, we are a nation of laws. Why should we grant citizenship and all the rights and freedoms that come with it to 12 million people who can't follow our laws from the beginning? Immigrants are necessary and appropriate. Certainly everyone has the right to a oportunity to live in the country where they would like to live. But everyone has that chance. It is not so difficult to get into this country legally.

Review: It's a great thing that we have a wonderful nation to live in and that everyone wants to be here. There are rules and regulations to follow to be legal! Everyone has to start at square one - you break the rules you pay the price. If a US Citizen went to another country to live their would they not have to go thru some sort of legal system to live their legally?

Review: How long are we going to let the profiteers promoting the growing gap between the rich and poor tell us some poor disadvantaged group of people are taking our share of the wealth of the world. Please wake up! Where is all the wealth of the ever growing U.S. economy going?

Review: To offer amnesty and citizenship to illegal workers is not the solution. Citizenship cannot be given away, especially when it's born by breaking the law. To deport all illegals is not the solution either. It is morally wrong and in practice impossible, a waste of money and time. We as a nation need to find a solution that allows illegals without criminal backgrounds who have paid taxes get some sort of temporary-to-permanent legal status here. Should not be something messy or too expensive for we need to recognize their contribution to the society. But not citizenship.

Review: I am so sick of people who talk without knowing. This country was built by immigrants and it continues to survive because of immigrants. The majority of immigrants are hard-working individuals who just want to feed their families--just like everybody else. The capitalistic values that we all live by, allow the hiring of immigrants. We want them to pick our food, raise our kids, clean our toilets, for a wage that no USA citizen would even consider. We want to have our cake and eat it too. Then we get angry when they stand up for themselves. Well these people are finally realizing that these guest worker programs are just that--guest worker. Come clean our house and pick our fruit but you have to be out by? That is wrong. If we don't want immigrants here then maybe we need to put pressure on companies and rich white families that hire them. But we could never do that, right? Isn't this really about certain individuals feeling that others are less deserving?
