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.

You really think so? Then why do they do otherwise?

Do you have any idea of the obstacles that have been thrown in
their way?

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.

We also have a long long waiting list. .....

So, when you are standng in line at the grocery store, or the DMV, and
someone in a hurry crashes the line, do you wave him on ahead of you?

You analogy does not apply. The line at the grocery store is real, the
waiting list for entry into the US is a political decision to satisfy those
who hate and fear those who are different.
