Satisfy these requirements and "Congratulations! You are now a US citizen!"
Don't satisfy them? See ya...off you go to your home country. And...BTW...you leave your tax & SS money behind.

Illegals are here because this is "the promised land"...make it easy.

one other crazy idea,
anex Mexico as the next state of the union. Think of all the cheap labor force, the oprtunities for development, and the resources we would get. It would be a heck of an economy stimulator too.


Too bad it can't happen.

They should be enforced. Perhaps changed, but still enforced.

At the moment illegals are just being used. As scabs by business, as votes by politicians.

Why not, seems to me we took a big chunk of it once before - Remember the Alamo.

it would eliminate 12 million illegals, an expensive boarder fence, lots of political bs, and give us access to some incredible vacation destinations.

yep, we need to do it.

Yep, too bad we don't protect our borders like we do our oil interests.

Having been to both Mexico AND Texas, I kind of wonder if the Mexicans figured that keeping Texas wasn't worth the effort.
