This is a letter to the editor that my friend Bruce wrote.
I agree with him. we need some sanity. Illegal is illegal.
My wife is Chinese. It has taken me 13 months to bring her to the United States legally. We are now in the process of "adjustment of status" and are applying for a green card. This has cost me approximately $1,000 and the filing of many forms, with more pages of supporting documents than anyone could imagine.
We are now two years down the road and my wife still does not have a driver's license, a Social Security number or any other benefits.
If illegals want to become American citizens, they need to follow the existing rules. If they cannot comply with the written law, the reaction should be, "See ya." Free lunches are long gone.
There are many people in my position. Should our nation decide to allow the illegals to enjoy all the rights and privileges of an American citizen, it would also be time for Uncle Sam to refund my and other people's spent dollars and immediately grant our foreign wives/husbands full status as U.S. citizens.

Re: All must work for citizenship
Yeah - I saw letter from Bruce Mitizak in newspaper today! He has good point! What about all the people who PAY to do all this legally and go thru hassle of trying to do things right??!! They should get their $$ back if illegals get amnesty! I think if they let illegals do law-breaking, we should ALL get a "get-out-of-jail free" card to do something illegal of our choice!!! I doubt they will pass any legislation at all - too many people wanting to get re-elected this year. What do the Libertarians say about this??
Re: All must work for citizenship
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
