but my answer is NO!! we shouldnt give them thier licenses because you use your license for everything most of the time dontyou??? this is for illegals anyways.
i say let them come if they are going to do thier part but if not..then yes send them back...
Well....I am a first generation immigrant. My parents and I moved here when I was two years old. My parents had to have a sponser to come here. Then it takes years to become a citizen. I didn't become a US citizen till I was 20, my papers applying for citizenship went in two weeks after my 18th birthday. It was a pain in the a$$. But you know what? It was LEGAL. I don't see where you can go and say that we all got here the same way and we should just sit back and let all the ILLEGALS have essentially a free pass. Bull****. If they want to come to the US they should have to do it LEGALLY like the majority of the immigrants in this country have.
Round'em up and ship'em out. The amount of illegal aliens in this country is rediculous. They are costing the US BILLIONS every year.
Also it is not that much harder to get citizenship now then it was 15-20 years ago. There is just a bigger back log now. (24-36 months IIRC)
