[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1153634, member: 9789"] Most of the time the topics in this forum are topics we discuss that may not touch us personally. This topic now touches me personally. A close family member has fallen in love with someone from another country. I am proud to say that these people have applied for a VISA and will do everything legally. I feel more adamant then ever on my stand that people who come to this country illegally should not have the same entitlements as those who are here legally. As with any other rule, regulation or law, if you decide to break the law, there are consequences for your decisions. Those decisions affect you, your family and others. Any reasonable and fair minded person knows that you cannot deport 15 to 20 million people but these folks need to go to the back of the line. There should be a short reasonable time given to "come out of the shadows." At that point, anyone who decides to evade the process should be given NO consideration and deported. Illegals should not be a burden on the rest of society. No handouts! Most of all, we need to secure the border. One way to secure the border is to have proof that you are here legally. Once the law goes into effect, all of us should be required if asked by trained law enforcement to prove they are here legally. People who want to be citizens in America or those who want to live here for long periods should assimilate to our culture and heritage. If not, they risk being profiled day after day and their papers better be in order. Simple as that! [/QUOTE]
