Who supports Amnesty?

In all seriousness, is there anyone out there that can give me a rational reason America should support the current Amnesty bill? I've heard a LOT of great reasons why amnesty is bad and illegals are bad, but I'm not hearing anything from the side of supporting amnesty. That is, except the corrupt, windbag politicians in Washington or the illegals who don't get a say in the issue...

So, honestly, is there any one out there willing to support amnesty?

Answer:
If you support amnesty, then you are against the American people. You need to be deported! The only people breaking up families is the illegal who shouldn't be here in the first place.
The anchor baby issue needs to be addressed as well and set clear that it's not OK to get knocked up and drop your anchor baby on the United States side of the border and now claim you have rights. Total BS!
I can't wait to hear some of these answers.Great question.
Illegals currently in the country
the illegals of course.
I can't support amnesty for people who are in this country illegally when so many legal citizens need help.
nope
There are a lot of illegals who have settled down here; they own homes, pay taxes, work, send their kids to school, why should we punish them just because we don't have the will to enforce border security and our current immigration laws?

I support amnesty for about two million illegals and their immediate families. The rest should leave or sign on to a special work program.
There are no rational reasons - only misguided or emotional arguments.

We say ALL illegals need to go home and apply for citizenship like every other law-abiding immigrant. They respond that we are racist.

We say the costs to our social programs, medical services, school budgets and infrastructure are far, far beyond the small amounts they pay in taxes. They say we are mean spirited and illegals do pay taxes.

We say we already have 300 million people, pay over $3 a gallon for gas, hundreds to heat our homes every month, fresh water supplies are getting short and mother nature is taking a hit from just plain too many people. They say we are keeping families apart.

It really is a case of a few people (big business & illegal aliens) gaining something on the backs of the majority of taxpayers.


EDIT: I love Ryans argument above me. Because some weak minded politicians allowed this illegal alien invasion, we should just suck it up and pay through the nose because its really OUR fault that they are here. Sorry Ryan I have never approved of this situation and neither have the majority of AMERICANS! Many of us never said anything until now because we didn't know how bad it was and our weak politicians didn't try to ram an amnesty down our throats.
I support the amnesty. These Illegal immigrants (the good ones anyway) are just over here trying to provide a better life for their families. I think Americans are being harsh and a little raciest all at the same time.
There are good and bad people in every race...You can't just single out lets say "Mexicans" because there are some bad ones that came over here. But that doesn't mean by any means that they are all bad.
I support it because I love God and My fellow humans. These people are human just like us. They deserve a chance! But the ones that come over and do bad things should be deported.
Nope, I can't support it when laws were broke in the first place, even if it was to support families. There was already a line to get into the country.
I think we might as well all give up and support it. If we are not going to enforce the laws, we might as well change them. And no one seems to want to enforce them. Except us, and we can't. I am getting the hint that big business is rearing it's ugly head behind the scenes. It seems logical they don't want to us enforce the laws. And I feel bad for the honest, hard working folks caught in the middle of all this. I just don't know how many of them there are compared to the drug pushers and gang members.
NOPE! I am livid about the fact that the Washington weasels aren't listening to 80% of Americans that don't want this pile of crap and that "Jorge Bush" is a Mexican butt kisser. He cares more about Mexico than America!

You will find some here on Yahoo that support amnesty but their arguments are illogical, irrational and they tend to be the "Aztlan" supporters that will say insulting things like "Viva Mexico."

They also claim that the illegals "pay taxes." That, my friends, is a bold face LIE! How can they pay taxes when they don't have a SS# and they are being paid under the table? If they DID pay taxes, like if they became citizens through amnesty, they make so little that they still would not be paying anything. Then they would probably be eligible for "Earned Income tax Credit" or EIC. Basically it is free money for low income tax payers. In other words, we still get screwed!
