I agree a country of immigrants can't choose and pick whom they want, they tried that with the Irish and that did not work, its about being organized for your cause and that is something that these immigrants are doing a damn good job of. Sometimes you have to just publizize your case to make change.....

It amazes me that people are like the law is the law, so that means people shouldn't get out there and try to change it. Wasn't segregation once illegal? Wasn't interracial marriage once illegal? Surely these people who took to the streets were once is a similiar boat as many of the peope in history who want change. I think the thing that disturbs everybody is that they are ORGANIZED and you know deep down they will eventually get reforms in their favor, I mean think about it, how can any judge, governor, senator, or anybody in power say sorry we are reforming the process to make it harder to be a citizen? When its all said and one it will be only easier.....
I think the laws should be the same for ALL immigrants and I think that ALL immigrants should follow the law. However, don't think that it should be easy because anything worth having is worth fighting for. The fact that the immigrant population is organized and fighting for reform is a good thing BUT the illegals need to get it together and follow whatever legislative changes are put in place; I do NOT agree with legalizing immigrants just because they made it here.
