Do you mean immigrants in the USA?  \nIf they are here LEGALLY, they can apply for CITIZENSHIP. If they are here ILLEGALLY they need to go back home (their country of origin) and apply for a visa BEFORE entering the country.

There are extensive laws on immigration depending on which country you live in. If you specified which country, you live in, you would get more information. This Wikipedia article outlines the situation in many countries with links to more detailed articles for the various countries. That would be a good place to start.\n\nWikipedia Immigration\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration#United_States_immigration

I understand the immigrants side of view, but they have to understand ours too. It's a matter of what is legal and what isn't. There is nothing to question. All countries have immigration laws. Even Americans have to go through immigration if they want to reside, work, invest,etc in another country, so what is so "racists" about applying the law?

Mexico's Immigration Laws\n\n* Pursuant to Article 33, "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days.\n\n* Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable."\n\n* Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered "indispensable" include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports.\n\n* Article 55 denies immigrants the right to become federal lawmakers. A Mexican congressman or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth." Article 91 further stipulates that immigrants may never aspire to become cabinet officers as they are required to be Mexican by birth. Article 95 says the same about Supreme Court justices. In accordance with Article 130, immigrants - even legal ones - may not become members of the clergy, either.\n\n* Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters."\n\n* Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country." What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen's arrests. Article 16 states, "In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right!\n\n* The Mexican constitution states that foreigners - not just illegal immigrants - may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."\n\nSource:\nhttp://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.o...ration_Law.pdf

No, what we do need are law abiding immigrants.  What part of illegal is so hard for people to comprehend.  This country's foundation are immigrants but they need to be entering this country legally and by the laws that the UNITED STATES has set for entrance into this country.  The US shouldn't have to change existing immigration laws to fit the parameters set by those who are here illegally.  All illegal immigrants should be forced to leave and reenter the country legally before they have a chance at becoming a citizen.

It is now the law that if you're born in the USA, you are a citizen.  \n\nIf the law was changed to say that if your parents were here illegally you cannot be (or are no longer) a citizen, we'd have to deport a lot more folks than Latinos.

It is a crime for noncitizens to _enter_ the U.S. without a visa, so by implication, it is a crime to _be_ in the U.S. without a visa.

So are you asking whether we support immigration laws?\n\nImmigration laws need to be updated. With new immigration patterns, governments need to change their definations of what constitutes as "legal" and "illegal." Along with government policy come laws that are based on greed, racism and fear. When people say that they are for immigration and against illegal immigration, what we should really be looking at is why we are against illegal immigration. We should further analyze our laws and question where policies seem biased and discriminative, just as where they seem just and equal.  We need to analyze the complete picture.. rather than the negatives.

The bill should pass, this is a country of law which is be ruled by law. There should be no way for anybody to break those laws because you want to survive? The law is not prohibiting migration to America, but those who want to come in illegally. If you want to come to America, do the right thing, ask for permission from the US consular and get here legally. The argument of, immigrant doing the job nobody want to do is not correct and should not be entertain. If they want to survive they focus their energies in developing their countries and enjoy the fruit of their labor for their mother land. Or should come in legally and be documented, pay their taxes so that I will not end up paying for their education and health care needs. This is is a sovereign country of Law and these Laws must be respected and by all.

We need a law regulating the issuance of citizenship to NO MORE than 200,000 people per year. This would keep our country from growing into a population we cannot sustain on our natural resources. More than that number will be disastrous to our infrastructure and environment. The USA today allows approximately 1,000,000 people to immigrate here annually. We need to enforce the law we already have on the books on ILLEGAL immigration. That abuse needs to be totally stopped!!
