Didn't the 1st amendment clarify some things?

I may have to check again, but I thought it did

Heck you can legally immigrate here, and not be required to speak a word of English until naturalization (if you do).

From studying the demographics, which country are you choosing?...

In answer to your question...Yes, their sponsor is financially responsible. And if you want to be naturalized you must learn English. Are you telling me that all the illegals here don't want that? Isn't that what all the shouting is about?

No one could ever convince me that the twenty million or more illegals don't want to start paying taxes to the country that gives them more opportunity. I just refuse to believe it. Say it ain't so!!!!

Maybe you should start by getting with the program and realizing that they do pay taxes. Then, consider that most likely, they would gladly become fully legal to ensure not having to worry about being deported, losing out of work, being separated from their family, etc. etc. Do you have any evidence that they want to remain illegal? I asked Benicar this earlier and she dodged. Any other forum I frequent would enact bans on these dubious claims without proof.

And where did I call you that?

Not sure what forum you've been reading, but the ones standing up for Hispanics/Mexicans/illegals weren't the ones who consolidated all illegals into Hispanics or Mexicans. We didn't use the math of since Mexicans are more than 50% of the illegals, all illegals are Mexican like someone else did.

I'm sure they'll take your comments in stride.

You mean like how a person of color moves into your neighborhood and your property value goes down?

Maybe you can PROVE to me that they pay taxes. You are making an unfounded claim in your first sentence, giving your opinion in the second and third and complaining about dubious claims in your last sentence.

Talk about hypocrisy.

Oh, I know I've gone off topic and was reprimanded to stay on topic. I wasn't seeing that same standard applied equally. I guess you may have to take it up with a mod for not staying on task? After all, you do believe in rules, don't you?
