Why not have them become citizens then so they can pay taxes and so they can work legally and put money into our economy? It's what need isn't it? Your comments amaze me...

I worked for a large commercial carpet cleaning company that had illegals working there. Trust me, they know EXACTLY what they're doing and believe you me, they think Americans are the dumbest mother #ers on Earth for letting them get away with it.

They were brought here as children and they want to become tax paying citizens but they exist in a limbo. Where are you going to deport them to? They have been here since they were 4 years old. They are as American as anybody else they just do not have a piece of paper to show it. You want to punish people for choices they had no role in. Punshed for the crimes of ones parents. Is that the American way?

YES deport them, they can use their American education to get a job in Mexico. Should people that rob banks not have to give the money back because their children benefit from it?

The state of my birth now belongs to mexico, if not on paper, then definitely in practice. I hope the whole place slides into the ocean. Their behavior is an affront to my own immigrant father, who came over and immediately served 4 years in the Army just to get naturalized.
And NO, I don't give a rat's ass who I offend with the above statement. There is politically correct drivel, and then there is truth. Like it or lump it.

Not true at all, why do you think that they only had 5 of them there?
People have been protesting in masses for the passage of the dream act for the past few years.
If they could just walk in a building and say, ok im ready to be legal now and pay taxes, they would.
That's so Wildly optimistic and completely incorrect. The reason there were so many immigrants protesting was because racists groups like La Raza spewed their racist pro-mexican propaganda informing immigrants to rise up and show your superiority and ownership of this land. If they knew that they were protesting for the same rights , responsibilities legal citizens hold they would be laughing at home with a beer in their hand. It's more beneficial to be an illegal than being legal. They get government assistance , can drive without insurance , free healthcare and dental ,don't have to pay fines or tickets cause guess what they are undocumented. There are so many loopholes it's amazing citizens haven't been denouncing their citizenship and changing their last name to Sanchez

Five undocumented immigrants received a standing ovation on the Assembly floor on Monday for their campaign to prod changes in federal immigration law
The immigrants are walking from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., to lobby for the federal Dream Act, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for longtime residents who immigrated illegally and later graduated from U.S. high schools.
No lawmakers protested Monday's recognition – almost all Democrats stood to applaud, but many Republicans stayed in their seats.
