My dad was an immigrant from Italy and my best friend's family immigrated from India. My girlfriend's family fled here from Vietnam in '75 and all eventually received US citizenship.

Both of them are now a US citizens and have worked diligently for years against a completely innificient system here in the US to obtain their citizenships. They work hard and have always paid their taxes.

Then they have to see all these illegals waltz into our country while they pay for their benefits.

I can understand fleeing from an oppressive or poor country to come here-- but there are legal channels to get this done. I just resent the notion that our own hard working people are many times looked over in favor of someone who walked into our country illegally.
