Just like anyone else, they should have to apply for citizenship. Illegal immigration is running ramped and costing taxpayers dearly. This bill will only invite more illegal aliens to our country. 2010-12-16T12:50:05Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-16:/comment/223198 Sxeptomaniac Straw man argument. Exercise3 is speaking about a specific group of people (note that they specifically said "students"), not all illegal immigrants. 2010-12-08T06:16:08Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-08:/comment/221139 Rogue414 Do "your" research before posting anything. Just stating the obvious, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. 2010-12-10T10:20:45Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-10:/comment/221660 americanlife If you went to another country illegally would they send you home and let the kids stay?

It is naive to think lawbreakers on the public dole will suddenly become responsible tax-payers. 2010-12-15T05:42:10Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-15:/comment/222706 exercise3 Bluezook, you need only to meet some of these students. Their enthusiasm for education is infectious. And you are wrong, there will be jobs out there for them and if not, they'll create them. 2010-12-14T15:54:14Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-14:/comment/222606 exercise3 I couldn't agree with you more. I see the DREAM Act as a win-win. It's a win for the individual and our country. 2010-12-14T12:40:11Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-14:/comment/222498 Sxeptomaniac "Where does it end?" Slippery slope fallacy, as you've not given a reason why one would result from the other. It's very common for people who have committed crimes to be given leniency if there are mitigating circumstances. I think the fact that they had no choice in the matter and consider this country their home constitutes some. 2010-12-08T13:13:34Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-08:/comment/221271 Mocha6 The only ones that have followed the rules are the native American. Everyone, and yes that means a lot of you reading this had a family member, parent that had a path way or has been born here. And that's why they are now called Americans. Now a lot have forgotten that and are being heartless and saying what they say. Be what it will be on the dream act, but a lot of people need to find a heart. 2011-01-05T03:16:47Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-01-05:/comment/224735 DanKat Well, one big difference here is the taxpayers are forced to pay for it. The politicians are never satisfied until they heap on things like free this or free that and reduced costs here all paid by our tax dollars. It always ends up to being preferential treatment to illegals and Americans getting pushed aside - oh and yes Americans paying for it. 2010-12-21T09:54:09Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-21:/comment/224027 DanKat I must be lost.... if he did all this illegally, he would not have been murdered? 2010-12-10T10:14:45Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-10:/comment/221656 DanKat That is kind of funny - the democrats really only see them as voters. If we could somehow convince everyone that illegals would ultimately vote republican, the borders would be sealed, all illegals would be deported, and the entitlements to them would be cut off in record time. 2010-12-10T10:09:19Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-10:/comment/221648 DanKat As a taxpayer, I say I do not want any of my tax dollars going to support illegal immigrants. I want to support American citizens. 2010-12-20T04:38:58Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-20:/comment/223886 Sxeptomaniac Our nation's history has been a continual struggle between nativist and immigrant (several movies, such as "Gangs of New York", have attempted to dramaticize the struggle). The nativists love to portray themselves as the patriotic side. They're not any more patriotic than other Americans, just more fearful. 2010-12-10T15:39:47Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-10:/comment/221752 BenjaWiz LET EM COME BACK AND GO THEW THE LEGAL WAY LIKE WE ALL DID. 2010-12-13T05:48:13Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-13:/comment/222138 exercise3 Then let's change the laws. That's what this is all about, isn't it? --changing the existing laws and making new laws? Our current laws are antiquated. Let's allow more immigrants into this country legally. Our country is in need of risk-takers who think smart and dream big. Support the DREAM Act. 2010-12-13T09:09:42Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-12-13:/comment/222184 bluezook FACT: Illegal immigrants tried to circumvent the laws of the United States of America in order to gain citizenship for themselves and their children.

My Generation is already broke. Are you victims of your parents sins. Do you carry there weight on your back. As a new voter i am. A 13 trillion debt. just find them and have all of them pay taxes.
