[PHX NATIVE 929]

What message is sent to the immigrants that decided to RESPECT our nation's laws and go through the citizenship process the legal way- burdensome as it may have been- if you then say, "Ah heck, this is too much work, let's just open the floodgates"?

The good people that I know that respected our process feel a true sense of pride in EARNING their citizenship. They know it's a PRIVILEGE. For the most part, I don't think you'll see the same appreciation coming from those that got their start here by breaking our laws.

I would never show up in a foreign country and announce, "I'm here. Citizenship please." I'd respect their methods. Simple as that. Anything else falls into the entitlement era we're so sickeningly stuck in right now.
