Let's change the conversation on immigration

Sorry, have to agree that amnesty is not the answer. It has been done before and the illegal immigration continues and cost BILLIONS in state dollars alone. There is a reason why the Governor of Arizona and several other states have fought this. For those who commented on there is no free education, check our elementary, middle and high schools. ESL programs so kids can stay in school, free meals, medical costs and much more cost US, the taxpayer billions. I have nothing against someone immigrating here legally, but; being what people refer to as an ANCHOR BABY, does not qualify you to be a citizen. No other country allows this drain on the system. Yes, there are many who are beneficial to the country,but; more than that are not and it HAS TO STOP. Sorry, do it legally, or you MUST go home.

Mr. Vargas, don't you understand that after you have accomplished all the feats you mentioned, that surely you must have the knowledge to pass the immigration test. After finding out about your delimma it seems the very first place you should have considered was the Immigration Office. Rather than spend valuable time on Facebook Causes, why don't you spend that energy on obtaining the paper work you need to become a legal citizen? By taking the route you chose and pouring out your heart to people all over the world, you have accomplished nothing other than opening a can of worms.
You should, by all measures be sent back to your home country until you follow the laws of this land.

I don't care about your video and I did not watch it.

Illegal, or unlawful, is used to describe something that is prohibited or not authorized by law.

Illegal immigration is migration to a country/state in violation of the immigration laws and sovereignty of that country/state.

Illegal immigrant n. an alien (non-citizen) who has entered the United States without government permission or stayed beyond the termination date of a visa.

The United States of America (USA), commonly called the United States (US or U.S.) and America, is a federal constitutional republic consisting of fifty states and a federal district.

Americans, or American people, are citizens, or natives, of the United States of America.

Citizenship denotes the link between a person and a state or an association of states. It is normally synonymous with the term nationality although the latter term may also refer to ethnic connotations. Possession of citizenship is normally associated with the right to work and live in a country and to participate in political life.

A person who does not have citizenship in any state is so unlawfully, or illegally.

There is nothing to talk about. Become a citizen of the United States lawfully and become a citizen. That is the American way. Enough said!

Multiculturalism doesn't work. When will America learn this... What are the implications of ethnic identity for multi-racial and multi-ethnic societies? Tatu Vanhanen of the University of Tampere, Finland, has probably researched the effects of ethnic diversity more systematically than anyone else. In a massive, book-length study, he measured ethnic diversity and levels of conflict in 148 countries, and found correlations in the 0.5 to 0.9 range for the two variables, depending on how the variables were defined and measured. Homogeneous countries like Japan and Iceland show very low levels of conflict, while highly diverse countries like Lebanon and Sudan are wracked with strife.[i].
Prof. Vanhanen found tension in all multi-ethnic societies: “Interest conflicts between ethnic groups are inevitable because ethnic groups are genetic kinship groups and because the struggle for existence concerns the survival of our own genes through our own and our relatives’ descendants.”[ii] Prof. Vanhanen also found that economic and political institutions make no difference; wealthy, democratic countries suffer from sectarian strife as much as poor, authoritarian ones: “Ethnic nepotism belongs to human nature and... it is independent from the level of socioeconomic development (modernization) and also from the degree of democratization.”.
