If your parents moved here when you were 2 years old, and you came with

It depends on how they came.
They either snuck across the border or they came on a visa and stayed
after it expired.
It also depends on how long you have lived here. If your parents brought
you here before 1986 and you are still not a citizen, then yes you are,
we had amnesty in 1986. If you came after that, then you are still
breaking the law.
So a child who came here at age 2 in 1991 is now a 17-year-old law
breaker. Where should he turn himself in? Are you kidding?
Sixteen years later after living in California for all 16 years with
your parents paying California taxes for all those years, you now want
to attend the state college. Can you get in? You are an "illegal
alien," but that wasn't your choice -- you were born into it. What to
do?
You can get in yes, in fact, the state will pay for it.
Good. They won't do it here. My only reservation is that I would like to
see that the family had legitimate jobs that paid state income tax.
Let me ask you this Mike, do you actually think if we offered illegal
immigrants free citizenship they would actually do it? There are still
people living here from before the 1986 amnesty that are still not
citizens. Why? Because the minute they become citizens they lose money.
They have to start paying income taxes, they have to start paying for
their medical care. If they are here illegally, they don't have to pay
those things.
That's not true, Vern. If someone is working at a proper job, they are
paying taxes. If they are working "under the table" then their
citizenship will not change that.
More evidence: There are millions of "illegals" with social security
numbers who pay federal tax to the IRS. These same people are registered
with INS because they came in legally but then stayed when their visas
expired. So all we have to do is check the IRS records against the INS
records and we'd find millions of illegals to harrass. Why don't we do it
then? Because we don't want to know. ("We" in this case is people like
Bush and previous Presidents, senators and congressmen.) The reason?
Getting rid of illegal immigrants would damage the economy.
You cannot blame this one on Bush,
Maybe that's why I listed "previous Presidents, senators and congressmen."
But if you notice, 70% of the American people want illegal immigration
stopped, I am not a mathematician, but I think this number would include
a great number of democrats.
Most of them don't know anything about it. Ask people "Do you want
illegal foobar to be stopped?" and what do you think they'll say?
Mike
