In my opinion, anyone who crashes the broken border should NEVER "attain the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship" - not EVER. And the same must hold true for their progeny.
That must be the enduring, lifelong penalty for illegally breaking into the United States.
Sure, they can work here, they can have families. But neither they or their families should ever be permitted full citizenship, but instead, must remain "something lower than" citizens for as long as they choose to stay here.
If we give amnesty and "hope" to the millions already here, there are tens upon tens of millions MORE who will invade us.
No citizenship, ever. And no "hope".

Too late..their children are already legal citizens and voters...and they have more than 2.5 per family.
