NONE of these people will be naturalized citizens. IF THEY CHOOSE to, they will go through the same process as you did. I think you are all being very short-sighted here.

I didn't say that these people will become naturalized citizens under this proposed "immigration plan". I was just simply pointing out the irony. I came to this country legally in 1984 (I'm a refugee from Vietnam). I followed the rules and laws of this country and did things by the book. Still it took me 7 years to become a citizen. And what have these illegals done to be granted such "special treatmen"? They came here illegally, they pay little taxes (if any). What will this say to people who came here legally like me? Forget laws, forget procedures? Just sneak in and lay low?
Seems like there are more incentives to come here illegally
