>I am an immigrant. I came here legally (in 1981). Paid my dues, paid my taxes, became a resident, then a citizen in due time. I have no tolerance for illegals. In fact I am fairly conservative in that respect. We do have to do something about this issue.

I have a close friend who is in progress of becoming a resident. He has paid thousands and thousands of dollars to a lawyer for this to happen, and it turns out the lawyer screwed up and he has to start over again with more thousands.

Now picture him learning that these illegal immigrants might get a free ride to residency. Welcome to the USA, I told him.
