The main issue is that, even if it costs a little money, we cannot condone or reward criminal behavior.

Elimination of the costs associated with illegals who are currently in the US would offset the costs of foster care anyway.
ya, but even though the kids are legal, they are a product of the illegal activity.

Default None of the above

This is kind of like that old joke about we have decided to execute you,but are giving you the choice of being shot or hung.Am strongly opposed to both of the choices.

Love the choices! But since I have no problem with gay marriage the choice is easy for me.

I agree. This is a dumb question. Illegal immigration is a big problem for this country. Its a real problem. Gay marriage is a perceived problem. In other words, if a bunch of Gays got married but nobody knew about it, it would not make one bit of difference to anybody.

Neither. Follow the laws as written. If you want to do something as radical as change the meaning of a word such as marriage, have a referendum. Let the people vote...

I voted FOR gay marriage because one) I hate the thought of ILLEGAL aliens being here, and two) who the hell cares who marries who? I have been on the fence of this issue for a while, but really, who the eff cares? And for that matter why don't we both, gay and straight, take the government out of our lives period! Why are gay people fighting FOR the government to be n their lives more? Be happy, get married, screw the gov. dictating your personal life. OOOOhhhh AHHHH a piece of paper that says NOW you are legally in love, proceed to consummate???

As long as people wish to marry other PEOPLE, and they DO NOT press their life on me, marry away!

I wouldn’t choose either. Both are disastrous for America.

Yes. I remember anunidentifiedmale and I were wondering that also - back when the thread began.

There are tons of people out there who don't seem to have their heads screwed on right.
