I'd venture to guess most would be great citizens..... IF they came legally. Thinking they can storm the gate and just be forgiven is a deal breaker for me. They're looking for opportunity. I get that. But if you aren't willing to be legal from day one, why would we want you here? We don't.

@carpediem I understand and those are my sentiments also. I'm not against them coming here. I'm sure many of them would contribute to our economy, but they should follow the legal process. Anyone coming here should undergo some degree of vetting and if they want to become permanent citizens, they have to undergo the naturalization process.

@carpediem They’re coming for the freebies because they’ve been promised them.

@cherokeepatti I remember the boats from haiti and cuba when clinton promised them freebees. He ended up denying them because his promise was illegal.

@MasterLee There is a big market for social security #s and identities that they can use to apply for benefits now. Someone who lived in my city had a cell phone & pager business about 20 years ago and he got later selling lists of people’s ss#and other information. I think he might be in federal prison now, haven’t heard from anyone who knows him for quite a while so I don’t know.
