Colorado Passes Toughest Illegal Immigrant Laws in the Country

The sadness is in your last statement.  They should be allowed here, but only after going through all of the paperwork required.  This is one of the most troubling questions of our time.  We all know someone who is a success despite sneaking into our country and I thin most of us know a family that is struggling to make ends meet and is only here because here is where there is life.  I believe that humans are animals, and science backs that up.  But in a way we are like plants in that Plants always grow and move towards the rays of the sun.  There there is life and there we will move. 

Our borders are porous and need to be tightened.  With every 3 families comes a common criminal, with every 6 a child  molester or rapist.  While I want the hard workers to have the opportunities, I want my children to have what I had.

I believe the proverbial chickens are finally coming home to roost on the illegal aliens issue.

The cold hard facts are both your housekeeper and her husband broke the laws in sneaking into this country illegally.

If you're truly concerned about them why not help them get legal???

I'm all for immigrants; after all that's that this country is all about, but legal immigrants, not the illegal variety.

"children born here" could be the key to getting them legal. 

If their children were born in this county then the children are automatically US citizens; such children are known as "anchor babies".

"Each year, thousands of women enter the United States illegally to give birth, knowing that their child will thus have U.S. citizenship. Their children immediately qualify for a slew of federal, state, and local benefit programs. In addition, when the children turn 21, they can sponsor the immigration of other relatives, becoming "anchor babies" for an entire clan.

"an entire clan." i.e. Rosa and Papa.

Bonnie, I agree with you on this.  It's a sad story.

This is a sad story. 

 FYI I have one of a few legal programs that does allow for a undocumented resident taxpayer residence to obtain a mortgage.  As long as there is buyer has files tax returns in the past two years and a few more qualifications they can get a nice 5-1 ARM.

Bonnie:

Indeed a sad story, but for every hard-working, "honest" illegal immigrant displaced because they broke the law story, I can easily find another where an illegal immigrant has committed other felonies and created equally sad stories for their victims.

The only sure-fire method for creating a happy immigration story is to persue immigration legally; the channels are vast and complex - but they work. There are many happy stories that are never told because, well - they did it legally.
