No more amnesty for illegal immigrants T HANK you for trying to spark debate on the immigration issue.
Amnesties just encourage more illegal immigrants to come in the hopes of yet another amnesty.
My grandparents came here as immigrants, but they did it legally. They were poor, but they worked hard and accepted no charity or government handouts. They learned English rapidly and assimilated to become proud American citizens. In contrast, illegal immigrants in general are not interested in learning English, and they are primarily here to reap economic benefits. That is not a reason to allow them to stay here.
