GuestSorry, I was NEVER an immigrant! I was BORN here and my family has been here for GENERATIONS. My dad and brothers, even my husband fought in the military for this country, I promise you that no ILLEGAL EVER served our country in war time! Illegals should be shipped home or made to serve our country in the military for at least 8 years. If you want to be American then there is no better way to prove you are sincere. Our country has fought for our freedoms and many have lost their lives so how many illegals are willing to put their lives on the line for this country? Remember, freedom is never free, it comes with a price.
Liss,I’m quite surprised by the tone of this thread. First, many of us immigrants do in fact pay taxes here, understand the language, and probably know more aboutUS history than many citizens. Under your proposed regime, would you hold citizens to the same standards as immigrants? Would all citizens have to prove that they can read, write and speak English fluently? Should they be able to show that they understandUS history and
government and have a good moral character? There are tons of citizens who don’t hold up to that standard.And take a moment to remember that you were ALL immigrants once.Budget101_@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Budget101_@yahoogroups.com ] On Behalf Of Liss

willing
to make them LEGAL right this moment if they were willing to do the
following:1. Learn English and speak it Fluently, be able to Read It as well as
Write it. Our DHS programs should not have posters in 40 different
languages!
2. Not sign up for Welfare or State Aid Programs for a minimum of 5
years. IF they can support themselves, Welcome! If you’re here for
handout- Cya!
3. If they could show they understandU.S. history and government,
have good moral character, and be willing to abide by the principles
of the U.S. Constitution.If the current illegals in this country could & were able to do
those 3 things, then Yes, I would agree to make them legal right now.
