One minute your a Spaniard, crying about the fact that these guys might have had the balls to work for ten or more years in the states and have EARNED their citizenship and you can't or don't want to understand why.
Now your are full on, flag wavin' yankee doodle dandy do or die uncle sam apple pie i'll buy that for a dollar wet back hatin' patriot good 'ole boy who accepts that the immigrants do the # that a normal worker "wouldn't touch with a 100 foot pole".
Are you an American??
Are you an immigrant??
Were your family immigrants??
Or now, because your a legal immigrant, do you feel superior and threatend by the fact that a man will work for half the pay with dignity to feed his family doing a job you consider would leave you without dignity.
He said
creating a pathway to EARNED citizenship for the 11,000,000 UNAUTHORIZED immigrants
WTF!
As a Spanish person living in the US since birth, I find this quote completely disgusting!
He said "earned" citizenship and I ask, how was it "earned"?
Then he said "unauthorized" immigrants when it should have been "illegal" immigrants.
So following the same thinking, a felon who is caught with a firearm can claim that he has
EARNED gun rights as he is merely an "UNAUTHORIZED" firearm user. Since nothing illegal was done, he is in the clear?
I wonder since the feds choose which laws to go after and which laws are not to be enforced if a 'motion to dismiss' claiming that I choose WHICH laws to follow just like the feds would work in court.
This would open a TON of new possibilities for we the people!

Here's the solution...
Americans need to go out and get the jobs that Illegals take, picking fruit vegetables, cleaning, landscaping, all for far below minimum wage.
Oh what? You can't do that?
Oh ok, fine, pay US citizens minimum wage for this.
What? You don't like your lawncare charging you over a grand a month to mow your front yard? You don't like strawberries costing 10 bucks a pound? Imagine that.

What's so wrong with allowing people who risked their livelihoods and much more to come to this country?
Why do you want to kick people out who will sacrifice everything because they want to live here so badly?
If someone wants to live here, who are you to tell them they can't?
Most americans are lazy. The illegal immigrants are hard workers. I want more hard workers in this country!

Very poor reason to justify illegals.
How about this...
1. Secure the borders
2. Have stiff fines for any company caught with undocumented workers.
3. (very important) Create a work visa program that pays for its self and pays for border security.
4. Provide limited time work visa to anyone that qualifies.
5. People work and then go back to their country after the visa has expired and if caught in over stay they don't get another visa.
Is having a country full of DOCUMENTED workers something you are against?

What other country allows anyone just to walk in and live?
