Illegal Aliens and Citizenship

[Engineer]

Illegal Aliens - note the word 'illegal', as in breaking the law.

If we consider them here illegally, then their children are also here illegally, whether they were born here or not.  We aren't 'penalizing' the children.  The parents are responsible for their children, not the state.   Their child will be with their parent back in their own country. 

I understand the desire of many to come to this country for the opportunities that it affords, but there are currently legal routes for doing so.  Why should those who illegally enter the country and have children be given special privilege over those who try to enter legally?  What you have done is to reward those who have committed a crime by allowing them to stay.

The solution is to make immigration easier, if that is beneficial to the country.  Or issue work Visas, or some equivalent.  Maybe an immigrant farm worker pass that would allow aliens to work at jobs that nobody else will to.  Pay them by the job and you'll be amazed at how hard and fast they work.  I've seem 'illegal' aliens working in Texas and here in Kentucky.  When they work by the job, they end up making well over minimum wage.
