My my. Who said they would not need to go though a process to obtain
citizenship?
Every one of them by the fact that they are trying to circumvent the
existing process. There IS an avenue for them to have come here
legally, you know.
This whole issue seems to center around two issues:
1. I got mine and I don't want anyone else to get theirs.
2. Fear and hate of all "Them" If they are not "Us" they are bad evil
No, the issue is #3
3. We have a process to come to the United States legally, so that you
are who you say you are, aren't a convicted criminal or gang banger or
child molestor or terrorist, and if you don't like the process we have,
then that's YOUR problem. Millions of other legal immigrants didn't
have a problem obeying our laws, and you shouldn't either. Not only
that, don't be shocked when there are some angry people in the United
States, people whose tax dollar go to provide you with free stuff, even
though you've invaded this country illegally. America is a nation of
LEGAL immigrants and rational people welcome legal immigrants with open
arms. But when you come here illegally, then have the nerve to DEMAND
the government disregard the fact that you broke the law, expect a
backlash.
