    They don't want naturalization. They don't want to pay taxes. That's the biggest issue. They want to freely move here without responsibilities, or they would come here legally.

    the illegals are the problem. The legals are not.

    The dreamers are the gift from the illegals to america.

    According to a survey from 2014, 24 percent of children in the U.S. had at least one immigrant parent. ( 88 percent of these children of immigrant parents were born in the US)
    (“Children of Immigrants: 2013 State Trends Update”, Woods et al. 2016)

    Doing some quick calculations. 24% of the population is under 18.
    21% of children in the U.S. are children of immigrants who were not born in another country.
    That means 34.4% of the entire population are either foreign born immigrants, or their children who are not adults yet. That represents more than 1 out of 3 people in the country's population.

    Then be nice to them, if they have the votes.

    Well they will very soon. They've already kicked Nancy Pelosi to the curb, in California.

    Plus they are basically immune from all traffic laws and other misdemeanors in nearly all jurisdictions that simply write a ticket in whatever name given even if no ID if believed an illegal migrant and all but the most serious felonies the worst punishment they face is deportation, so then just come back across the border the next week. In most instances, illegals have far more rights in terms of criminal laws than Americans. An American commits burglary and s/he goes to prison. An illegal commits burglary, and s/he is deported.

    100,000,000 Americans who gave up finding a job isn't enough. We need at least 50 million more uneducated unskilled migrant workers to take the last entry level jobs. It is just wrong for Americans to work and the government to assure those who want to have a job are blocked from doing so for their own good.

    Funny thing is, I want them to become citizens and renounce allegiance to other countries. It's not that I don't want them at all. Those who are more than just using us, yeah, they need jailed. Those who are decent, which is actually the majority, need to get on the books, so to speak. Congress doesn't want that. Write your congressional members.
