1.5. Despite having lived most of their lives in the US and speaking fluent English, many cannot legally work, vote or drive in most US states. They are subject to arrest and deportation just like any other undocumented migrant.
My God, why can't this author bring himself to call these people what they really are?
They are not citizens and they are not entitled to be here, but they are:
ILLEGAL ALIENS!
CRIMINAL TRESPASSERS
FOREIGN INVADERS
WETBACKS
WELFARE CHEATS
PARASITES
VIOLENT CRIMINALS
ALIENOS ILLEGALOS!!!
I’m just guessing, but it might have something to do with her last name
Campaigners want the legal limbo of FOREIGN INVADERS resolved.
Younger brothers and sisters were born in America, second generation WETBACKS who enjoy the status of US citizens.
Not Generation 1.5. Despite having lived most of their lives in the US and speaking fluent English, many cannot legally work, vote or drive in most US states. They are subject to arrest and deportation just like any other ALIENOS ILLEGALOS.
"They fear being deported but many of them don't know (anything) other than English, so they have no idea what awaits (them) in their countries of origin, said Ruben Rumbaut of the University of California in Irvine, who coined the Generation 1.5 term.
There are no official figures of how many ILLEGAL ALIEN children live in the US, but the Pew Hispanic Center estimates that 7% of all Hispanic children are PARASITES and VIOLENT CRIMINALS.
This suggest there are 1.1 million Latino children who are not US citizens. Children can attend primary and secondary school without being asked about their immigration status, but getting through higher education can be more difficult.
It is estimated that approximately 65,000 CRIMINAL TRESPASSER students - both Hispanic and non-Hispanic - graduate each year from high school.

Not quite as warm and fuzzy that way, is it.
We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, including the so-called anchor babies, seal/secure the border and SHOOT anyone who tries to re-enter illegally.
When you consider the children born here of illegal mothers, that number is EASILY $100bil/yr...for schooling alone...EVERY YEAR.
That doesn't include social costs, welfare, food stamps, medical programs, jails etc.
If illegals and their US born children)are costing the US taxpayer less than $500bil/yr, I'd be astounded.
Nobody like to talk about the cost of the US born children, as if they are real citizens deserving of every benefit.
We have a sever need for an Amendment altering the language of the 14th.
