Should we grant conditional legal status to undocumented workers with good moral character and 5 years in US?

Yes, we should.

Well, if they're undocumented, how do you prove how long they've been in the US? Good moral character - you mean someone gainfully employed... do you think someone who has employed an illegal for 5 years will be willing to show records and jeopardize themselves? Good moral character means law abiding - there's a major discrepancy there.

To start "conditions" would make the muddy waters even muddier, so my answer is no.

No...

Should I be able to rob a bank because I have good moral character?

Should I be able to move into someones house that has more than me because I have good moral character?

See breaking the law in itself shows that you do NOT have good moral character.

Because their documents are so trustworthy?

The problem isn't fixed yet, and until then more will just come and come and come......

They are illegal aliens and if they had good moral character they would not be illegal. They would have immigrated via the legal channels like all the other legal immigrants,so my answer is no we should not. By the way just who is we anyway?
The majority of legal Americans are against illegal aliens from any country.

You cannot attribute "good moral character" to those who have engaged in feloneous activity for five continuous years, nor do you grant citizenship to those who openly demonstrate a lack of respect for the citizens of the U.S. by violating their laws.

Nope. If they had good moral character, they wouldn't have entered the country illegally.

No they are criminals, who waste tax dollars and don't belong here


Crazybird
No. There's no way with all the forged documents and such that you could actually beleive any of them. So far we have had perfect instances in which they have broken more than just being here laws and NOT once have they not pitched a hissy about having criminals....real criminals....deported. Excuse identity theft, no licenses, no insurance, medicaid fraud on down the line........no thank you. They fight simply speaking English so what conditions do you really think they would agree on? They demanded a stop to ALL deportations when it's people who wouldn't have met with the conditions of the last amnesty proposal if it would have passed.

So no......

Over six million decent, hard-working people are still in their home countries waiting on the INS to process their papers so they can come to the U.S. One lady has been waiting in the Philippines for over 25 years!!

So, if you define "moral character" the way any true American would - go back to your home country and wait till those who've done the right thing get their chance...and in the meantime, learn English and U.S. history just like those millions - then maybe, if they've shown THAT kind of good moral fiber, (and paid back taxes, have no criminal record, etc) sure. Why not.

Why should they be rewarded for breaking the law?


Matt C
Sure, as long as good moral character means law-abiding.

But they are breaking the law by just being here so that would get you nowhere.


Peach
Nope, that's not the way it works.


elmar66
NO!!!

And they are NOT undocumented. They are ILLEGALS!!!

Call it what it is. They broke the law to get here, so they are here ILLEGALLY!!!


?
No way. "Undocumented" means they're here illegally, and if they had good moral character they wouldn't have sneaked into this country illegally.

hahaha NO. what does undocumented mean? did they lose their wallet on the way to home depot?

How can an illegal alien (ie one who has broken the law by coming into the USA) be considered to have a "good moral character"?

All illegals should be punished and deported with a life time bar to re-entry!


Bite Me!

Yes.
To It's About...the only reason why these people are sitting and waiting is because their country is not next door to ours and would have to cross oceans and then some more to get in. If it were Afghanistan and not Mexico next door, we'd have an invasion of Afghans or some other 3rd world country. They are not choosing to sit and wait because it's the 'moral' thing.


Chee
Start sarcasm. Of course not, we would rather let them drive around with no insurance and drivers licenses and tax id numbers rather then let them pay taxes because then we wouldn't have anything to ***** about. End sarcasm.
