Folks, if I may; this isn't about illegals, this isn't about race. This is about breaking the back of our local, state, and federal institutions.
Thank you. Carry on.

Who doesn't like mexicans?
If my husband kept stealing from me I wouldn't keep rewarding his behavior or ignore the problem.
FWIW, he is white. Your throwing out of the race card tells me you either didn't read the op, or you just read into it what you wished.
AIG was also not my choice. They should have been allowed to fail and the doors boarded up afterwards.
What's your next argument?

People who pretend they're soem sort of existential threeat to our nation while ignoring actual problems. Like you.
You should have warned me that you were psychic beforehand. Silly me thought that you would not be able to detect which problems I ignored and which ones I didn't.
No, but it looks to me as if you'd be berating him for nicking fifty cents from you last week, while you're in the process of getting raped by the guy who just mugged you. 'Cause it's that fifty cents that's important, you know!
Grasping at straws. It is ridiculous to suggest we ignore one crime because a bigger one is occuring. If that is the case then we should just get rid of the legal system all together. There is always a bigger crime occuring, but since it is an effort to stop or correct the big one just ignore the others. Throw out the baby with the bathwater. It is just too much to expect people to obey the law.
I'm sure you meant all those illegal Norwegian immigrants, and find their "theft" so dire that you chose to ignore the vastly larger problems at hand.
I apologize for the content of the article. I didn't have one quoting figures for illegal Norwegians handy. I will certainly post it if I run across one though.
There is a drug dealer selling crack to middle schoolers, by your logic we allow it to continue with our blessing because just across town there are people stealing police cars.
But they weren't. Instead of being upset about that, though, here you are telling us how utterly and reprehensibly evil those "illegal immigrants" are for managing to get minimum government assistance while busting their asses working in this country.
Do you really think people enter here illegaly by the thousands for a worse life than they had in their home country? If they are umhappy busting their asses then the hole in the fence is still there.
I say make 'em all citizens. Same with the folks who float over from Cuba; If you're willing to hoof it through the Mojave to get here, or if you build a boat out of two palm fronds and a sack of ping pong balls, welcome to America!
Nobody said deny citizenship. You want to do the work, pay taxes, and contribute? You do it the same way all the other naturalised citizens did it. By the law out and in the open.

If they know that these people are illegal, why are they giving them benefits instead of deporting them? If they've had a kid here, let the mom and kid stay and deport everybody else; single parenting is rampant in this country and it can be done. I'm not saying it'd be easy, but it's doable; it's done all the time.
