I have would recommend that the enlistment laws be changed so that a person

- of 18 or 19 years,
- who has lived in the US for the past 4 years,
- who has graduated from a US high school
- who speaks, read and writes English
- who is willing to serve for 4 years in the military

Can earn their US citizenship after either their honorable discharge or their reenlistment.

Grecia Cantu said she considers herself an American and wants to find a way to become a legalized citizen.

There is already a process in place for that.

OH! OH! you want to buck the line?

Tough toenails, there are a LOT of people who are doing it the proper way. You've already had 19 years to get in line, sorry your parents are so selfess.

““The U.S. is my life,” she said. “I can’t go back. I feel like I’m an American. I love my Mexican heritage and culture. It’s beautiful. But I don’t know anything but Waco and the U.S. I don’t have pride in being Mexican. This is home.” “

You can make it your life after you go back to the nation you are a citizen of, and go through the process legally.

Apparently for a supposed top student, you aren’t all that bright.

“If God wants me to go back to Mexico, he’ll take me by any means necessary,”

Not satisfied to simply mock the American citizens, this person mocks God as well.

Booo effen hoooo. Cry me a river and then go back to where you come from. If you love this country so much then come back legally. We don’t like law breakers in this country. If you were a real American you would feel the same way.

They are selfish, not selfless.

Yes, they need to get back in line.

I had to wait a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time for my immigration story to be completed.

The story is 100% BS.

She can legalize via the rolling amnesty. She and her parents have been here for ten years + .

I suspect she wants a free pass not an application.

This is the scummy stunt that deserves deportation.

I’d agree if the 4 years here was legal. Otherwise you are enlisting criminals.

I don't care.

I don't care.

I don't care.

I don't know how many ways it takes to illustrate that I don't care.

She is NOT an American citizen, she gained what she gained through illegal subterfuge, at the expense of others and she needs to go to the back of the line.

And that's the way it is.

A Test To Determine If DREAM Amnesty Sponsors Are Serious About Helping Illegal Teens, Or Do They Just Want To Hurt Americans?

PRACTICAL QUESTION NO. 1: Are you willing to eliminate Chain Migration categories created in the late 1950s that allow anchor immigrants to bring in adult relatives other than a spouse? If you are not, the amnestied young adults will be able to bring in their parents, older siblings and eventually leading to even aunts, uncles and cousins, many of whom were guilty of breaking our laws and putting the illegal-alien teens in their current condition in the first place.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTION NO. 2: Are you willing to ensure that the DREAM Amnesty does not cause a new rush on the border (and of visa overstays) of people encouraged by the fact that breaking immigration laws truly does get rewarded?

PRACTICAL QUESTION NO. 2: (a) Are you willing to tie the DREAM Amnesty to a mandatory E-Verify system for every employee in every job? (b) Will you also include a notification process for multiple workers using the same Social Security number in order to root out identity theft? (c) And will you delay the permanent implementation of the DREAM Amnesty until the U.S Visit system is fully in place at all points of entry so that everybody crossing our borders can check in and check out and be known by our national computer system if they fail to check out on time? (d) And are you willing to have the E-Verify system used to confirm legal status before distributing taxpayer benefits in the future?

The law already allows for legals. As for legals, minors are not hear of their own volition.

>> She had math smarts, a love of books and a flair for the stage.

They need those skills back in mejico. Maybe you can help turn it from the open sewer that it is to a semi-productive country.

Or just get a job with Mr. Carlos Slim and serve yourself.

Whatever.

Just go. Now. Take your family with you.
