@9YCZRYF6mos6MO
No, They need to take the proper steps to get a work visa or take the steps to get full citizenship while on a current visa
@9DM49VB2yrs2Y
Make them go through the process legally
@9DFJHG22yrs2Y
Yes, they may apply with a simple path for citizenship but must do community service for the crime of illegal immigration.
@9D87YGB2yrs2Y
If they are free of major, violent crimes, stable, working members who already do the majority of what regular citizens do, than they can stay and be urged to apply for legal citizenship
@9CLHBKS2yrs2Y
Give temporary amnesty to nonviolent and non-criminal immigrants while we create either a robust work visa program or a path to citizenship
@9BZ45C5Independent2yrs2Y
yes, if they are going through the process of become a citizen and have no criminal record
@93RWR9H3yrs3Y
Yes, they should apply for citizenship.
@937XM233yrs3Y
No. But it should be easier for immigrants with no criminal record to legally immigrate or be granted a work vesa.
@92MQJWW3yrs3Y
Whether an "illegal immigrant" or you are trying to come here legitimately. The government needs to process the applications. If you dont apply for citizenship then you dont get to stick around. Also the fees need to be reduced so they are affordable for the impoverished.
@92KMTQ3Republican3yrs3Y
No, remove them from the US and fine companies that employ illegal aliens
@92GFBG9Republican3yrs3Y
No, remove illegal immigrants from the US and fine American companies that employ them
@8XKX6FF3yrs3Y
Yes, but they must show signs of attempting to recieve citizenship within six months of being discovered in US territory.
@8WC4HS84yrs4Y
Yes, if they are paying taxes, and trying to get citizenship
@8S3VMH24yrs4Y
Yes, and ensure they can get citizenship
@8RVHZPF4yrs4Y
There should be some temporary work permit that allows them to live here if they are working. just like a visa. an employer that has hired an illegal immigrant is breaking the law. I-9 form is to prevent and prove that a person employed is a legal citizen.
@8RDPYYG4yrs4Y
They should be given a chance for work visas if they have been here for a certain amount of time, pay taxes, and do not committ crimes
@Nico985yrs5Y
Yes if they pay taxes and are working in higher paying work fields
@8JPV9HS5yrs5Y
Yes and they should not be required to work in order to gain amnesty
@8H5TTCY5yrs5Y
No, but we need a better process for path to citizenship
No, but fast track the legalization process while making the company they worked for pay all involved fees and costs
@8FKWJV95yrs5Y
They should be given permanent amnesty and a path to citizenship.
@8DL59JS5yrs5Y
Yes, illegal immigrants should be made permanent residents so they can rely on services like the police for protection instead of organized crime, but they must leave and apply through the traditional process to earn citizenship and voting rights.
@8D9R9BS5yrs5Y
Yes but only if they pay taxes at a higher rate than citizens
@8C8FXC45yrs5Y
Working illegal immigrants that pay taxes. should be allowed to stay and they should be given a easy path to citizenship.
@9CZMSP2Independent2yrs2Y
Yes if they have been here for more than 5-10 years
@9CXC5RQIndependent2yrs2Y
No, but allow them to get temporary work visas.
@9BD3RM22yrs2Y
Only if they have lived here for years
@99VF73S2yrs2Y
@98CDD4H2yrs2Y
I don't have a thought relating to any of these about this
Yes, as long as they have no violent criminal history.
@98DS7W82yrs2Y
Yes, and force employers to pay fairly and show records of all illegal citizens in their work spaces.
