It's so unfortunate, and I would argue irresponsible and negligent, for those of you who oppose providing a path to legalization to undocumented youth and workers. Your ideological position completely ignores the overwheling research, data, and evidence that clearly indicates all their social, economic and civic contributions. The failure to consider the democratic and christian values of acceptance, equality, and justice that the country is built on is truly a tragedy.

This study focuses on students who are not legal permanent residents or naturalized citizens as defined by the federal government and don't have a social security number.

Look i see your point of view.things are always gonna be this way...I see teenagers and older poeple born in the U.S and they put NO use to there social security they are gang bangers and sell drugs and sex offenders....we got hobos! that are lazy and dont like to work! there a waste of social security number and no good...Would you rather have an American Hobo down your street..or a U.S citizen Doctor that could save lives in your hospitals? think about it?

[optikjuan87]

Heartless i think so thats just my opinion....and hell no we cant take in the whole world....some of there countrys are high criminals and there is it is not secure..I never saif take in the whole world but help the ones who have been here since they were babys...its not there fault! its not there fault! they have no country how in humane can you be?!

[optikjuan87]

where would they go?who would take them in?where would they work? how much would they get paid?alot of these countrys are third world countrys were people dont have get paid well and dont have dont have alot of great oppurtunities like here in the United States...appling for A visa takes alot of years and alot of money and your suppose to have a great paying job in your country.....how can they do this if there arnt many good paying jobs to pay support for Visa.

[optikjuan87]

True people should know the law and consequences of breaking the law...These people im takling about didnt break the law they were brought by there Parents as babys......they didnt know what they were doing right? To them this is there home country they dont know any other way of living...and somtimes doing the right thing is often hard but it shouldnt be heartless..but your right there is no other way to deal with this situation but to do it the right way...

[optikjuan87]

yeah your right on that...but what are they suppose to do?if they go bak were they were born ...its also a foreign country to them as well?? very hard situatuion there in...now as for a grown up adult who sneaked in illigally intentionally should go bak on there own and do the proper paper work...im not defending all illegals...thanx for your opinion

[optikjuan87]

ok you got a point that is the correct way to do it....but lets say a boy or girl who was brought here illigally by there parents in to the U.S...And she/he was raised and finished elementary,middle school highschool, and is currently going to college..They only know this country how can they go to a diff country its a foreign country to them.
