I have a question for you:

I have a friend who came to the U.S. from a friendly nation when he was about 12. He went got a B.S. and M.S. from two of the top universities in the country. He has been continuously employed since he was young. He's a productive member of society who has no criminal history, not even speeding ticket.

It took him 30 years to get his citizenship, and he wasn't even allowed to go back to his country of birth for his Grandparent's funerals. Meanwhile, many who broke the law were getting amnesties like the one in 1986.

Please explain to me why you and Trump want to reward people who broke the law and came into this country illegally with a free pass, just because they set fought in Mexico But you want to punish someone who came to this country and did everything right?

Basically, you want immigrants who might go on welfare, and punish the ones who never will?

Personally, I don't understand your attitude.

You pretend to ask acquisition, then assume how i think, then tell me I’m wrong.

Trump said they’d come back legally, getting in line with those already there. Those in line need to prove skills and pay fees - it’s never a for sure thing.

Cruz let’s them stay. How is their staying here (amnesty) fair to those waiting?
