It would be best to get them in the systems and paying taxes.

The GOP wants the votes. Same as the Dems work for.

Its easy to say that when you already have/had a career. For a student trying to start his life and not wanting to put himself in nearly a hundred thousand dollars of debt, any job will do. We need manual labor jobs for CITIZENS more than ever. This isn't the 70s anymore. Manual labor and entry position jobs are rarer than they've ever been before. And Mr. Jose with his 6 anchor babies undermining the minimum wage sure as hell isn't helping. In a country that has decided that public education be a low priority, and the cost to attend college has exploded far past what inflation has, getting a job is the difference between 100,000 dollars in debt and maybe 50,000 dollars in debt. NOT TO MENTION THE ILLEGALS ARE GETTING PRIORITY REGISTRATION AND THEIR OWN FREAKING SCHOLARSHIPS, AS WELL AS ACCESS TO FAFSA AND FEDERAL LOANS!! What does Mr. white citizen college student get? The shaft.

If amnesty does come, which i GUARANTEE it will, it better come with a sealed border. All that these illegals are doing is flooding the education system with their kids, and undermining and lowering the standard of living by working for pennies, while also flooding our welfare system and medicaid assistance because they work for so little. Give them citizenship and then ACTUALLY enforce the damned laws we have. We simply cannot support another flood of 12 million people in our already meager system.
