It is foolish to think that ALL illegals offered US citizenship would even accept it.

My parents immigrated to the US (legally) from Europe in the 1950's and neither of them ever become US citizens but rather neutralized citizens that is limited in ways such as they had no right to vote.

I would be that up to 80% of illegals offered the right to become full US citizens never even do so because their prime motive was economic not dreams of nationality.

So I think we can take that specific hysterics off the table.

Sorry, but you are short on facts. The government thought only one million would petition for amnesty in the 1986 act, but it turned out to be 3 million.
