I'm confused. I thought you wanted them to be legal citizens. What difference does it make how they become legal, as long as they become legal? As I have understood our many debates on this, I was under the impression that legality was the final goal. Is it not? Must they bring $$$$ or go through some tortuous process to prove their love for America? What more do you ask other than legality?

Many jobs have linguistic requirements. Teachers aren't special. Free lunches? Well, I'll tell you what.... one illegal Mexican kid is entitled to a full school system lunch every day that he's there because I never once ate the "free" lunch that the schools provided for us. So there, I've done my part and made my sacrifice toward the greater good already.

Yeah, I've seen the shows too. But every illegal alien does not become a drug gangster. That's absurd. That's like saying every black is a thug gangbanger.

Don't forget,
we are benefiting from that money. Also don't forget everything that they buy, and the sales tax they pay, and in many cases even IRS taxes.... that we
all benefit from. Many of them
are paying into the system, whether it's their real name or not. So how can you deny those people medical care or school for their kids? Are you that heartless over what amounts to a paper legality issue?

We just need to build a wall, then sort out the criminal ones and for the ones that truly here for a better LEGAL life, they can have the opportunity to earn citizenship

I'm still on the fence, no pun intended. I'm really neither for or against putting up a wall. On the one hand, it would work. On the other, there's something very disturbing to me about living behind a wall. I was serving in Germany from 88-90 when the wall came down. So the idea of putting one up here
really bothers me.
