Are you out of work?  Do you want the job an illegal alien now has?

IF you are desperate, I don't see any reason why not. A job no matter what kind of alien does it, will always be categorized as a job. Which means, that it pays. \n\nWe are on the 21st century now. I don't understand why we still discriminate those who are willing to flex some muscles to earn a clean living. (sorry if that sounds a bit rough)

I think the same as I do about any other illegal aliens - go back home to your own country.  If you want to live here, then come here legally.  And if you want to live here, be ready to get a job and work for your money.  I work for mine, and I am tired of supporting bums that refuse to work.

if you want to come to this country legally to work, you need a sponsor.  that means someone that wants to give you a skilled job which american citizens cannot fill.  \nmost illegal aliens that i have heard of are working as day laborers or in food processing plants like purdue etc.  these are below poverty level wages that are not something the government will not recognize as essential.  this is where a guest worker program would be much easier to deal with.

I don't think so. Whose gonna do the unwanted jobs then? Easy for some people to say yes but they wouldn't dare do the jobs these people do. Did you ever think that some of these people came here legally to be able to support their families but majority of them ended up being abused by their employers so they ended up illegals? I have heard a lot of stories and verified them. Some of the bad things that happened to them were done by by our fellow Americans and you talk of having electric fences? What's the matter with you? I bet your ancestors would love to hear your comments when they came here as immigrants too. If they'd have known what the future generation would be maybe they would have aborted you.

Being an illegal alien may make you a law breaker but if you are not a thief, drug dealer, child molestor, follow all the laws except being an illegal alien I would not dismiss myself as a criminal.  The word criminal has to do with the psychology of a person.  The criminal mind does not work the same as a person who is not criminal minded.  I am sure many illegals are fighting for this country right now and they are very brave.  The questions of illegals, immigration are very hard subjects to address and should have been addressed better long ago.  There is always a way to handle things and America has neglected the immigration problems for years.  Legal or not legal there are many problems with our policies and solutions have not been considered to solve these problems.  A person should not be here illegally but if they are they should make it right if they can.  If you are illegal out of desperation how can anyone blame you to do what you have to do.  You should try to make this wrong a right in your lifetime.  Doing things within the laws of lands you live in should be the right thing to do.  Many people sticking guns in people's faces and selling drugs are something that they do because they have no alternatives but you have to try to do the right thing.  Some illegals are more American than the trash I sometimes see of all types of Americans.  Many naturally born Americans are not much as far as being Americans sometimes.  You have to study the Constitution of America and feel this document in your heart to be an American and if you feel this document is what you want to follow, believe in, and are more than willing to die for then you are American or are a good prospect to be one. You have to decide if you are a citizen of a country then work on being that.  I suggest many Mexicans need to be Mexicans in their own country because you should be proud to be a Mexican National and not give up on your own country.  You have to stand to make Mexico work before fleeing it.  Mexico has the resources to function and provide for all it's people.  What a slap on Mexico's face to flee such a wonderful country.  It needs alot of changes but that is what revolution is about.  Revolution is what made America what it is.  Viva La Revolution

No, an alien holds a card to stay and work for a limited time and is not a resident either, only holds temporary residency. An illegal cannot have employment authorization because he came in undocumented and as such, is not entitled to green cards or residency. You can't do things backwards and expect to jump ahead of those in line. Be considerate of others and the U.S. will be very considerate to you.

I have met an illegal alien just the other day who said that he just wants a good life here in the great USA....and "a while back I was abducted by aliens sir and I'm looking for some payback"

Do you have Green Card or that is what you want?
640928
YES. The illegals here need to go home and apply from THERE. The people who have been on the list already should be allowed here first. The end of the line should mean wait in your own country like the others are doing LEGALLY.

Although I like your question, most of those jobs go through more of a rigorous screening and background check than, say, a day laborer.  An "illegal" is just trying to make ends meet, just like the rest of us. I would welcome more people in the world with a higher education, regardless of ethnicity, or how they arrived to where they live.\nBut it is true to note that if this did happen, more politicians and upper-middle class folks would be more forceful in solving the problem. As it is now, they rather illegal immigrants do the hard work because legal employees have more rights, and expect more money, and in essence, seem lazier.

No.  The illegal alien problem can be handled by SEVERELY penalizing employers, and diligently finding those employers.\n\nThis will both eliminate the influx of illegals and will cause the giant mass of illegals to go back to their country to seek employment.

No, you cannot work. Nor can you change it into a permanent resident visa.

Who do you think did all those jobs before illegals invaded our country?  Maybe those jobs didn't exist, or maybe farmers let their produce rot?  Your argument is illogical and self serving.  The fact of the matter is that employers want these illegals here because they can take advantage of them, and the government who looks out for the interests of the business elite, supports them in this.  They try to play Americans for fools by sending troops to the border and suggesting a guest worker program, which is just a way to ensure a permanent source of cheap labor for these greedy employers.  Illegals will work for wages that no American will work for, and as a result they take jobs from Americans and drive wages down for everybody else.  It's obvious you don't know what you are talking about when you bring up something like doing construction work for $7.50 an hour.  Construction work, just so you know, was a good job that paid a lot more than $7.50 an hour and that employed many Americans, until illegals started swarming our country and doing doing construction for shit wages.  A lot of Americans lost good paying jobs, and contruction companies increased their profits by grotesque proportions.  So don't fool yourself by thinking that illegals are essential.  The only reason they are allowed to come and stay is because they increase the profits of the business elite.  But this can only go on for so long.  At some point, Americans will get so sick of being screwed that these businessmen and their politician buddies who are selling out their counrtry for profits, will have no choice but to stop hiring illegals altogether, and these illegals will have no choice but to go home where they belong.
