Should Illegal Aliens Be Given Amnesty?

Jedi Master Titus Pullo (USA)

HELL NO, Amnesty will only encourage further law breaking.

PRGfUSMC

No. They don't deserve amnesty. There are many many many brown, yellow and white immigrants waiting patiently for their turn to come to the US. It's not fair to them to let these illegal line jumpers in ahead of them. The issue has been around a long time, especially in areas where illegal aliens have been prevalent for a long time. The problem has gotten more press because the invasion areas have increased signficantly since the last amnesty.

No, if they can't do the paperwork to at least be able to travel through legally and speak ENGLISH, I say get out and don't come back.

Sarah McGuinness

NOPE. DEPORT THEM.

This may sound harsh to some...but if you come into this country ILLEGALLY then you should be shipped back to where you came from. We have enough problems of our own, we don't need to be dealing with other countries' fleeing citizens that can't be bothered to take the appropriate steps to get US citizenship.

Whishkey Bottom.

No Amnesty. They are ILLEGALLY in the country.

UNITool

Absolutely not. They should not be rewarded and given privileges over those who have been waiting to enter the country legally. Illegal immigrant = criminal, we've go enough home grown ones of those.

Bear

Shouldn't illegal aliens try to gain citizenship if they really want to live in this country? I think that would make sense, especially if they don't plan on living anywhere else.

Megan

in my own personal opinion...
I hate immagrants.
only because they steal our jobs, and taxes have gone up because of them....

I will fix our problem....give me a squad, thousands of gun...and I'll protect our border...

If we give illegal immigrants amnesty we might as well kiss our nation goodbye. It's going to be over run by people from wherever they want to come from and they are going to vote for their benefits and their agenda. Basically, it's the same as giving away the nation.

cmdrbnd007

No, we have no idea who these people are and what if any diseases they may have.

NO.

I don't understand why it's so controversial, though.
It's so simple...they are illegally here. So why should they be allowed to stay!!???!!?
Common Sense...

mountainman_chuck

nope. they're over here illegally, and usually illegal acts don't go unpunished (notice how I said usually....) so I don't see why we should give them amnesty for breaking a dual-country law.

I think that amnesty is wrong, they are here illegally jumped the border, let their visa's run out whatever, they have no right to claim citizenship. It is a drag on the economy as well as on our medical field.
Those who say that this country was founded on immigration is right, but it is immigration, those people some of our ancestors had to go through screenings, medical histories, name changes, and if you were not healthy or had no skill, then you did not get into the country. That is the difference, immigration was a vastly different than immigration where you jump the fence or force entry.
Amnesty is wrong, this country is strained as is, being 28 knowing that when I retire, SS will not be around, there are enough people on welfare in the country, do we really need to add 12 million more people to welfare?
I understand the generalization, but it is one I am willing to make. I know that not all illegals would take welfare, there are some that will do the jobs that Americans wont, however it is a strain that is not needed at this time.

B.Kevorkian

I don't see why it's controverial. What do we want, our own country and rule of law, or foreign invaders and chaos? Not a tough choice.

No Amnesty. Nothing that even remotely resembles something that might be remotely misconstrued as being a little bit like Amesty. Ever.

I don't support Amnesty. I also don't support mining the border, shooting illegals on sight, or denying citizenship rights to children of illegals born here - but I would support all three of those before I'd consider supporting Amnesty.

Licious

I guess this question is controversial everywhere. Most people are not very "happy" about having tons of illegal people given amnesty, when others that may need it more may not get it. Again, it doesn't give a good impression. "Want amnesty? Go to the US!" The problem about it, I guess, is that many people would simply take advantage of that, and that that would be too much.

EmmyLee

No amnesty!! I you give them now, more will be coming. And it's very unfair to those who came here legally. Just imagine that those people who came here legally have to go thru all the hassle of filing paper work and paid those outrageous fees and then you have to wait several years before you can apply for citizenship.

Just Me

no they should not be given amnesty. There are legal aliens that can't even become naturalized citizens because of red tape and the bleeding hearts want to give some illegal the okay to live here.

I have a friend that had to cough up $500 to a hospital emergency room when she got hurt when the some-type of alien walks in and was treated for something routine. When my friend refused to pay by saying she didn't have the money up front they told her to leave and she had a separated shoulder not so routine. She threw her credit card on the desk and told them it was descrimination.

I think that all illegals should be sent back to their home countries and if they want to come back they need to do it legally.

marshfield_meme

NO!! Should we declare amnesty for anyone else who breaks the law? NO, again. I have no objection to people coming to this country legally. But when illegals are caught I believe they should be deported with no right to return.

I stand very strong on this issue, my son works for INS and I have listened to so many of the problems that happen when we do not enforce our immigration laws. Almost all of our families emigrated to this country at some time in history. I can empathize with people wanting to come here and become citizens. However, those that come and are here illegally then find it easier to break additional laws. That is a sector of our population that does not need to be encouraged. They should go back to their homeland.

First of all it wasn't amnesty, because there was exceptions. When giving amnesty, there shouldn't be any exceptions. Yes I am for anything they would give to let these people stay because how are they going to get all them out? And those help the economy and they DO JOBS THAT MOST AMERICANS WON"T DO! Whether you like it or not, that's the truth. People should be able to live anywhere. God created this earth.

Janet L

no, it does not help are economy one bit either!
they can get a green card to live here and have a job, and go to school! it takes a while to become a citizen but its better than gettin kicked ouy of the country for a girl!

lordkelvin

no, ningÃºn, ingen, nee, nein, ÎºÎ±Î¸ÏŒÎ»Î¿Ï…, negitive... common since protection of national identity.

holliday/doc

people think they can come into this country illegal,then expect us to sit by and do nothing ,if i came into your country what would your government do to me ! throw me out - get out.

NO, i def. do not!...I dont believe ANY immigrants, legal or illegal should be allowed into this country, because in my opinion, this country is becoming way to over crowded, i'm also sick of having to put up with the other languages other than english, like i'm expected to learn another language...If people want to come into this country THEY need to learn english and learn it clearly so when i call my cable, telephone, doctor, electric, insurance..ETC ETC ETC...company, i can understand the other person on the phone!
"press one for english, press two for spanish, press three for zimbabwi.....!!!!!!!!!!!"...ridiculous.
ok, ...so NO, to answer your question.
They also need to accept OUR COUNTRIES ways, such as the flag pledge and other things.

It would be am unrealistic goal to send them all back. We have been lax in our laws for to long. So now we have legislation called the Dream Act where persons need to ID themselves to the government and register as legal. The time span I believe is proof of five years residence. Electric bills or something that proves their status. They would need to go into the armed service or then be able to go to school as a legal. They would need to work as a legal. This would assist in taxing these illegal workers who are a strain on our system. They do not pay taxes. They are possible criminals and drug dealers to assist in supporting themselves and steal ID
of other legal people in order to work. So the idea is to make them responsible for work taxes schools and armed services and possible criminal activities would not be an option. Is that Amnesty?

Ernest

yes Unless your Canadian. just kidding

Rack up another NO.

Hall + Oates

NO Amnesty! If we're going to give one group of criminals a pardon, why don't we just free all the prisoners in this country too??
