Actually liberals in their rush to allow illegals into the country are creating a whole new class of citizens.

There has been no significant growth in illegal alien populations over the past ten years. Mexican illegals are down by a million and the illegal population has been maintained primarily by over stayers.

Well over 2/3s of the illegals have been here more than 10 years.

There is no rational way to deport 11 million. Simply too much.

If voting is an issue simply legalize. Deal with citizenship a decade from now.

Eh...how many illegal aliens were in the US during WWII? And even those that were here how many do supposed sign up for the draft?
You do know countries like Mexico and other Central America and South American countries remained mostly neutral. Mexico did send fighters planes during the retaking of the Philippines but no ground troops.
Countries like Brazil and Argentina favored the Nazi and harbored Nazi after the end of the war.

Actually if anyone was paying attention Trump just sign a proclamation ending 'catch and release'. So giving themselves up should only hasten their return across the border.

Mexico declared war on the axis powers in May of 1942. Mexico and Brazil both sent troops to the fight. Illegal aliens were not feasible at that point. US ran the braceros program and welcomed virtually anyone. Offered citizenship for joining the military.

I'm on the fence as to how many they should be able to sponsor after attaining citizenship except it should be only immediate family members though and I disagree that they should be forced to be sterilized. We should set limits on the number of dependents that a citizen household can claim to gain welfare.
In my scheme, nobody is "forced" to be sterilized - anyone can stay in their country of origin and have an unlimited number of kids. I do agree, though, that there should be a limit on the number of dependents which one can use to increase welfare benefits, and that number should be zero. There should be one fixed welfare benefit, and the welfare recipient should decide whether to spread that benefit on zero, one, two, or eight kids. Isn't that the only fair solution for everyone? Working people do not get paid extra for having more kids - why should welfare recipients be entitled to that?

Don't worry about that, its just a new and improved liberal talking points.

Actually I would prefer that get tossed because they are a burden to the American tax payer.

They're picking and growing crops, working in construction and site clean-ups, eateries, and landscaping. They're toiling. Did your kids ever break a sweat?
