It takes five years to become a naturalized citizen, why should we let the wetbacks wait only two years. And the person who goes about it the legal way pays taxes those five years. they're not sending half their income to Mexico.
Guest workers; anybody that thinks that guest workers will go back to the getto from which they came after five years has got rocks in their head.
Illegal aliens aren't doing jobs that americans won't do, they're competing american jobs by working for less than an american would. the employer either pays cash or has one employee on the books for every four employees. That way his compensation insurance is less, if someone gets hurt he's the one on the books. That's why workmans compensation insurance is so high. The employer doesn't have to pay any benefits, if one of the employees gets sick it's off to the emergency room. That's why hospitals are closing their emergency rooms.
So instead of a short cut to citizenship we should send them back to where they came from so they can improve their homeland instead of screwing up ours.

You call it Nativism to want to protect our borders when, in all probability, you have never done a day's work in your entire lazy campus life.

As long as daddy's paying your way, you're liberal about spending our tax monies. But once it starts coming out of your pocket, you'll be singing a different tune.

In the meantime, get out there and compete for goods and services with the millions of illegals in our marketplace. And while you're at it, get a job.
