I think the new plan is ridiculous, as far as giving the illegal immigrants the GREEN CARD. WTF?! Do you know how hard it is for the LEGAL immigrants to obtain the Green Card? So the plan is encouraging all legal immigrants to become illegal immigrants in order to get the green card ...

SEND ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANS HOME!

Nope, it's too late...I've already given the Migra your name and address....(and they sent their former Blockbuster employees, expect a knock on your door in 3.5 minutes).

I have said on numerous occasions that the U.S needs to CLOSE the borders all together. The reason that internationals and Mexicans especially, are trying to come over here is because their own countries are less than "appealing". If we MAKE them stay in their own contries, they will build up their economies, healthcare, education etc. Look at how many international students come to the U.S and are the best and brightest from their country, end up getting a great job offer and a company sponsored visa. Now imagine how much good that student could have done if they stayed in their own country. Of course your home country is going to go to hell in a handbasket if all of the educated and wealthy nationals are in the U.S.

I have mixed feelings about the illegal immigration thing. I think of it this way, we were all immigrants at one point or another (unless you are a native to this land). I think each person's situation is different. Most people leave their countries because of war, poverty, governments, etc.. I don't think you can easy just ship these people out like we don't care. After all, america is supposedly the land of the free.

If they legalize them, do they have to pay back taxes or at the very least, current taxes?

America is the land of the free and you don't understand what that statement means I guess so you made no sense.

The land of the free (handouts) is what it's becoming.

I have no problem with someone that wants to immigrate. I know the stories of most of my ancestors that came accross the ocean. Most involve stopping at places like Ellis Island. All followed whatever the normal immigration rules were at the time.

Now it is a little tougher to get in to the US legally. I have no problem with that. If you want to go try and be a citizen of any first world country, there are going to be some hurdles.

I'm 100% in favor of deporting illegal aliens that do not pay taxes and use government services. However, if they are just here to earn a living and support their family back home, I think there should be a visa for that. Hell.. provide them transportation in to the US! How many people actually born in the US do those kinds of jobs anyhow?

It's a land of the free in that there are so many freedoms here. The US, like any country, only has the interest of its citizens in mind. It is not in our interest to be giving handouts to people. Also many immigrants don't pay taxes which is what bothers me. It's not the people doing cheap labor and get paid under the table but the ones running stores that bring in 1 million in pure cash and still get financial aid for their children in college.
