Isn’t it true that most illegals do not want citizenship? Many intend to return south of the border when it is financially feasible? Their hearts are not in the USA, only their bodies.
I would love to see evidence of that. I have, however, seen evidence of the opposite. Though I reservations about whether the source is completely objective.
