Ah, of course, that's what you're afraid of.
And fictitious voter fraud.

Have you ever seen where I have posted anything about voter fraud on this or any other thread on speakers corner, let me answer that for you, no.i don't see a voter fraud problem in America, at the same time I do not see a problem with picture ID to vote.
You liberals can't seem to understand, America is a country of laws illegals are not in the U.S. legally, hence the term illegals.
the only two reasons I would vote to give them legal status: 1 I don't think tearing families apart is right, 2 I believe that removing 11 million people is not possible.
Giving them legal status is more than they are legally entitled to, citizenship and voting rights out of the question. Even felons who are citizens loose their voting rights.
The point is that your country has welcomed the majority of these illegals for years as a source of cheap labour. They have built their homes and their families by working for your benefit.
You talk about morals, well the morally appropriate thing to do is to give them citizenship, and the Bipartisan bill did all of that with sufficient caveats to weed out the undesirables.
Both parties would have sailed this bill through but one man, at the mercy of the bickering teabaggers, put a stop to it.
The fact that a bunch of hysterical, screaming right wing nut jobs can bring your country's political system to its knees should be of more concern to you than Miguel or Juanita getting a green card.
The fact that ignoring the laws of America in the past should have no bearing on the present.
The morality issue is covered by giving legal statis, no families torn apart, the ability to work legally pay taxes and collect benefits. Your moral issue is out the window.
We are not talking about generations of people to deal with, we are talking about one generation, any of their offspring are already citizens.
If you feel the need to deal with any employers who have taken advantage of these people deal with the employers."
I come from an area which is highly agriculture, I know many of the farmers who hire Mexicans for harvest most of these are employed through Mexican Americans who supply the labor and take care of the paper work. These employees are all paid the going rate for their labor. The govnt. Has built new apartment complexes to house these workers and the rents are minimal. All housing provided by the farmers has to be to a certain standard as is checked by the local housing authority. Don't make it sound like these people have been abused.
As far as your rant"a bunch of hysterical screaming right wing nut jobs" maybe a bit over dramatic, these are people who believe what they believe, just as you libtards believe what they believe, they are not nut jobs but they do believe in the preservation of America.
