Because these illegal aliens (not undocumented) are foreigners here illegally, that's why! Their own countries are responsible for them.

ALRIGHT --

If someone comes to this country without a criminal record of heinous crimes. And if they pay tax, do you think they should be allowed to work?

Only if they become US citizens. And not before. Period.

Only if they follow the legal procedures to come here. I mean, this isn't rocket science you know.

How about they help their country themselves? Rather than just flee it, imagine what they could do if they finished school, didn't start having babies at age 14 or 15, didn't have baby after baby they can't afford, and became responsible voters. And instead of expecting everything for nothing like your illegal friend, they work hard and pay into insurance plans back home.

No. If they're illegal, they need to be deported. We have too many immigrants here as it is, with unemployment rates as high as they are.

NO, not without the proper VISA or green card.

That process is too long, and would require reform for that to even work correctly and efficiently.

There is no such thing as illegal immigrants. Just immigrants. Some authorized by the state to work, and some the state don't even know exist.

One has nothing to do with the other. I have a $1200 a month mortgage, should I then be expected to have a $500 car payment simply because I have a mortgage?
Why not have it go to illegals? Because they are illegals....
Should car insurance payouts go to the car thief because he wrecked the car he stole?

Illegal immigrant= in the country illegally. Expired VISA, entered without a VISA etc.
How long or difficult the process is is irrelevant. We owe them not a thing. I married to a legal immigrant now a citizen. We wait for my step daughter's Visa to be approved a 7 to 10 year wait. Now in contrast to illegals my daughter has never violated any US laws. Why should illegals be rewarded and granted a head of line pass in front of anyone who is doing it the right way?
