They did not come here to become citizens.
Most that are here illegally could care less if they become citizens or not.
Absolutely. There are a lot of laws that are being broken that if Illegal Immigrants are given a get-out-of-jail-free card, will violate the Equal Protection Clause.
First and foremost the border needs to be secure to prevent TERRORISTS.
Second, anyone here illegally at the Most after all applicable laws are applied, fines paid, will NEVER ATTAIN CITIZENSHIP, they may get a renewable work visa. Renewable yearly and if they have committed crimes, etc., deported just like LEGAL immigrants if they have committed felonies which using false or stolen Identification is.
It’s not just “crossing the border”. The evasion of laws, Selective Service, evasion of income taxes or fraudulent refunds, cost of services to the communities in which they “reside” is enormous.
I’ve lived here my entire life. I’ve seen first hand the cost and destruction (human lives) that Illegal Immigration brings.
They want to be a citizen? Go back to their home country and apply legally.
What law breaking should we excuse or encourage next John McShamnesty?
