I agree with many of the post above. I agree that people here illegally, especially after being here long enough to go through the proper channels and become legal, should be deported. I also believe though that the standard routes to becoming a citizen, should exist. To the person up above who said that kids born here shouldn't automatically become citizens, remember that part of the beacon america has become, is that if people get here, they have a better hope. Many people who are not bad people, risk their lives to get here so that their children can live better. We do not want to become the United States that alienates everybody and turns people away in their time of need. But what we do need to do is to start dealing with this in a responsible way, and in a way that is not hypocritical.
One example I would bring up, is medical treatment. Many people say we should deny aliens medical treatment, because they can't or won't pay. Yet we have insurance companies here in the states, that pay for americans to go over to other countries and take advantage of their socialistic medical systems, or a "medical vacation" if you will. They go over to other countries, get free health care while they are there, and don't pay for anything but the trip over. All so the insurance company can save a few bucks. Who pays for it he medical treatment? The other country (like India) is stuck with the bill. Hypocritical practice. We don't all do it, but there are those who do. The same can be said of the aliens that come here. Some are bad folks. Many are not. So don't treat them all that way.
