One fact it is often the overlooked in the immigration debate is the fact that many of the illegals that come here have no interest in becoming American citizens. There always seems to be an assumption that anyone given the chance to become a citizen would. But it's just not true. For many the opportunity is to send money home, then return home someday with money.

It is particularly disheartening to see the effect of talk of amnesty has on legal immigrants. Many have told me that they spent over 10 years, legally obtaining citizenship. Now I looks to them, like the Senate and the president are making a mockery of their efforts.

YES.
Amnesty is a slap in the face to legal immigrants.
