Branching off of the illegal alien discussion, things I'm sick of:
People who want to cherry-pick the parts of the US Constitution they want to follow. News flash: if you plan to live in a country, you have to follow the laws of the land.

Why exactly should they not be required to leave?

Again, why exactly is it okay to enter the US illegally and then participate in government assistance programs? If someone has an intelligent answer, I'm more than willing to learn and consider new possibilities.
I appreciate that you are asking this in a non-confrontational way, but I suspect that any answer I could give would not change your position. I think we (probably) disagree on the very fundamentals of this argument -- for instance, I understand that they are breaking the law and should in theory be held accountable to that -- but I disagree with the law. So I don't have an argument for you there that you would buy into.
That said, the numbers on illegal immigrants collecting government assistance are (in my estimation) wildly inflated. Now, you can very well come back and ask me to prove it but I can no more prove my position on this than you can yours. Why? Because no one can. No one has any idea what the numbers are. The CBO has said that the net costs to states is probably minimal. So, while I certainly know that many people think that even if $1 goes to illegal immigrant families is $1 too much, I personally think that if it is taxpayer dollars you are worried about there are other areas that would come first on my list.
I don't want to get too far off the original topic so I will leave it at that.
No pp, but what I'm getting is that basically you have no answer and your beliefs are based on things you can't even prove? Uhmmmm...okay.

I have employed a number of legal aliens over the years. Not a single one of them has supported leniency for illegals. Why? Because they waited their turn, completed all of paperwork and came here legally. They pay their taxes and abide by our laws while the illegals ignore the process and avoid the taxes that everyone else pays.

Spoken like an illegal alien (or the family member of one). If you can't see how they are a cancer in the US, then you're delusional.
Do you really think that only "illegal aliens" disagree with you? Really? I'd suggest you examine your position if this is your default defense.

Nope, I'm American (Irish/English). Don't even know how long ago my family has been here. I don't actually know any illegal aliens, do you? I'd bet not. You just need a faceless enemy to direct your general dissatisfaction with your life towards. Enjoy your distraction!

People who say ignorant things like in the bold.

People who make generic statements thinking they sound enlightened, yet provide no support for their argument and just sound empty-headed.
