Studies have shown that only about 20% would come forward. Lets face it the majority of the illegals are Mexican. Highly nationalistic. They have no desire to become American citizens. They are here for the freebies.
RE: . They are here for the freebies.
I thought they are here to do the work no American wants to do?
If this is the case, then a simple temp. work visa would solve the problem (Singapore does this quite capably).
If what you say is true (i.e., they are here for freebies ), then we need a system put in place to SEND THEM BACK HOME.
