Liberals and Young Americans, (which I am) need to wake up. Dream Act would allow older illegal immigrants full benefits, meaning no taxes paid but have the right to social security.  I've been paying social security, 4.2% out of my paycheck and wont see a dime, *Runs out of funds by 2037, 45 and over new citizens will be able to receive. 1/3 of all federal prisoners are illegal hispanics, not for being illegal but violent crimes.

I just don't understand why American immigration system welcome all kind of people with no functional English or skills in demand. Look who is welcomed to America today - refugees (90 percent of them are fake), elderly parents, brothers and sisters of the US citizen, DV lottery winners, brides and wives of the US citizen. And yet, American government is making it as hard as possible for the high-skilled workers to stay in America. Employment-based backlogs are ridiculously long.

As long as the immigrants don't come from desert bastard shit hole countries.

[Edric R.]

Completely agree. But as long as they are here to better themselves and create a better life for them and their families by clean, hard work. Good proof of that is in Miami, New York City and any other big city. Melting pots of culture (especially Miami and Big Cities in California), cities full of immigrants both legal and illegal here to prosper. I would say a good 60 % of big businesses here in Miami are owned by Immigrants and/or their sons and daughters who are Legal citizens.
