illegl immigrant debate (II)

I had someone post me about how our government is screwing over illegal immigrants and how they 'deserve' stuff.... my response...while their anonymous nature is questionable i most undoubtibly respect your response and opinion...


Well, let me explain this family's issue, as it is very common, your residency is not permenant, it lasts for a period of time. If you don't apply to renew your residency before it expires, you are illegal and it will make it difficult to renew...seeing how you're illegal at the time. The felon thing is a political ploy. The republicans wrote in the original legislation to make a misdemeanor, and not felony. The democrats threatened to filibuster, a process in which no legislation is voted on because politicians hold the floor, if it wasn't made into a felony instead. The republicans thought that a misdemeanor would do, but had to change it to felony for the democrats to approve it. As soon as the bill was written the democrats go on the news and accuse the republicans of being extremists because they wanna charge the immigrants with a felony. Hmm, we want the law to be enforced, we want the border secured, and we want a process where those illegally here can earn, EARN, the right to be here after a long process and fines. This is what America wants, not a round up, or second class citizens, or to keep them from citizenship...we want them to earn it legally and understand that they broke the law. They 'deserve' nothing, they can 'earn' what ever they are willing to work for. Working on a farm for low wages beacause Americans won't do the work is not sufficient to 'deserving' citizenship. You accuse us of making you second class citizens, and here's the truth....you make yourselves second class citizens by hiding in the shadows as illegals. The law is the law, no matter what you 'want.' We don't want a round up, we want a process and for you to conform to the process... that's what makes our society different from many..we conform to the rule of law, earn it, you deserve nothing more than the right to follow the law like Americans do..not to disobey and get away with it.
