How many think they are here to become productive American citizens?

Who really thinks they want to be productive American citizens? Why aren't they making the same demands to the governments of their countries of origin?

Illegal immigrants release ‘Bill of Rights’

An immigrant-rights group proposed a “Bill of Rights” for illegal immigrants Thursday, demanding that Americans recognize there are millions already in the country who deserve health care, in-state tuition rates for college and a guarantee of citizenship in the long term.

What they deserve is to spend some time in jail and then be booted out of the country. They are criminals who are breaking our laws just be being here.

They keep coming here because people keep hiring them. It's not for no reason. Putting up a wall doesn't get to the root of them problem. Penalize the business owners who illegally employ them.

Which part of "illegal" is unclear? I have no problem with people immigrating to the U.S. - honestly all of our families did at some point in time. The problem I have is with the "illegal" part. How can "illegal" anything participate or expect any assistance? It just doesn't pass my "common sense" test.

The vast majority of us are of immigrant heritage. Now, we are, (in theory) a sovereign nation. If you want to come to this nation, do it legally. Any other answer is invalid. Illegal aliens making a demand carries zero weight. Being here illegally is what is known as a criminal act. This is crazy talk.
And this whole "sanctuary city" thought process makes no sense at all.
