[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another serious question, why don't these people become legal citizens?[/quote]

Or learn English.  For the love of god, learn English!!!  Assimilate already.  [/quote]

The English bothers me a little bit, but what I really don't get is why they don't become citizens.  [/quote]
OK, I'm going try not to be snarky here, but do you guys understand how this country's immigration system works?

When you are here illegally, you can't just say, "Oh, I'd like to be legal now while living here even though I'm here illegaly".   The only time they can do that is when the government offers amnesty, which both Reagan and Bush have.

Or are you confusing legal immigrant vs. illegal immigrant, and you are asking why don't legal immigrants become citizens?  I'm asking this honestly because one of the things I've learned about people during this election is that some Americans are quite clueless about the different statuses.[/quote]

but if 8 million applications are made for green cards each year, why don't they apply?  Why sneak in illegally? The U.S. s pretty generous with the green cards.[/quote]
8 million annual applications for green cards? Even if that number is right the total number of green cards awarded each year is 675,000 with a few exceptions. They don't hand out green cards to unskilled workers.[/quote]
Does this explain how most babysitters and housekeepers are illegal?[/quote]
