Well, illegal aliens are now advertising their illegal status with impunity.
Some tiny minority of them are, sure. They can peacefully protest however they would like.

Or a couple of them are willing to risk deportation to make political statements.

It is not a small minority of illegals. Our lax enforcement and the pandering by politicians, has emboldened illegals. They now feel they have a right to be here.

More broad brush strokes, what a surprise. Cool story. If they believe they have a right to be here, that's fine. I think they should be granted the rights of citizenship, too. You act as if their sense of entitlement to something is truly horrendous, and yet just about every "anti-illegal" here goes on and on about the protectionism they favor for American laborers.

What have they done to earn the right to remain in this country? Furthermore, it is the height of arrogance to live in a country illegally, and DEMAND anything. So, yes, their delusional sense of entitlement is repulsive.
Not this nonsense again. Obviously, you cannot explain why illegal aliens deserve legalization. That’s not surprising.
I've made my stance on this pretty clear. I don't think anyone "deserves" legal status, it's something the government should grant when there are good reasons to do so.
But just for sport, let's pretend I was trying to establish who "deserves" legal status here. Two people, and I only know one fact about each.
1. Born in America
2. Invested money and effort to travel to America
Obviously if this was some kind of merit-based system, I'd side with number 2 in a vacuum.

So, the U.S. Constitution is irrelevant? Sorry, but those born in this country have rights and privileges not afforded non-citizens. Furthermore, it is not your decision to determine the worth of a U.S. citizen.

We're not talking about the Constitution here, we're talking about "deserves."

Sorry, but the U.S. Constitution has already determined who deserves to be a U.S. citizen by virtue of birth, albeit, it has been grossly misinterpreted. Again, can you explain what illegal aliens have done to deserve legalization? I have to run, but look forward to later reading your reply.
By the way, can we resume discussion on the topic? Or, will this be yet another closed thread?
