Go through the proper channels: Learn the language, support yourself, demonstrate an ability to contribute rather than leach, don't have a criminal background, don't have communicable diseases, learn some of our history, pledge an oath, and then we can talk about citizenship. That is what the early immigrants went through (and many still do) and their ability to do so is what qualified them to be a contributor, rather than a tax on the rest of us. Are you arguing for something different than this?

No, but I am arguing that Mexicans are quite capable of this. I would not deny them the opportunity to do the things you are proposing they do, which I completely agree with, BTW.
