As a US citizen who has spent much of my life dreaming of a life in Canada, which has always been more in line with my belief system and values, I am here to say that the entire North American immigration system, legally, as it stands is outdated. One visit to Citizenship and Immigration Canada website and you're immediately shot down. Unless you are 100% debt free - no outstanding student loans, or credit card debt etc., unless you have no kids and are not married, you'll be seen as having alteriior motives for moving there. Education/career? In order to qualify for the jobs that wouldn't fall under the 'stealing Canadians' jobs' category - meaning you better have, at the least a doctorate level degree and be at the top of your game. The only job you'd qualify for would be one so advanced and one that requires so much education that the government would conduct a Canada-wide search for qualified applicants. Upon finding no qualified applicants, you would then be able to accept the job. In this economy, no employer is going to sit there with you and wait 2-5 years for all this to happen. No wonder people enter these countries illegally. I know there's a wait, but 10-20 years? After spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for fees, attorneys, interviews, traveling, with no guarantees?
This is outrageous. Canada and the US and to a lesser extent Mexico need a streamlined path to citizenship which includes something like a two year apprenticeship - something like Americorps - which would teach would-be citizens job skills that don't require 12-15 years of university education. Two years of supervised work and apprenticeship is enough time for the government to get to know the person and get an idea for how well this person will adapt to life in the country they choose. I am all for immigration reform with common sense and inclusion. Having a doctorate and lots of money does not guarantee success and if anything costs a lot of money to keep these people on board with their salary demands.

Conservatives are against illegal immigration, not immigration. So get your facts right and stop with the hyperbolic lies.
In fact, we'd would be more than happy to expedite legal immigration for twenty-million (or so)Hispanics from any Latin American country so long as they pay a restitution charge for the costs to our government of their illegal activity. We could debate about it, but I'll start by suggesting $2000 a year for 10 years for each new citizen that wants to come through this way.
Then maybe the wealth that they generate won't flow so easily south of the border to be used in an entirely corrupt banana-republic government.
For those of you who believe so strongly in "open borders," why don't you just not lock you car doors, your house/apartment doors, or your cupboard and let anyone who wants come in and live rent-free? You can sign them up on your health-insurance plan, buy them their groceries, and pay for their incarceration if they break the law.
Boundaries have purpose.

Wow, the level of hatred and xenophobia is astounding in these comments. First off, why do we insist on "illegal" returning home (to only Mexico? what about every other country) to try and fight to reform the government, where, in many countries, they will end up dead or disappeared. The system is broken here, but the people who are here "illegally" are not lyers, cheats or thieves by nature, they are here because it's the only alternative for so many of them. What about Juan who finished high school and graduated college magna cum-laude? How many US citizens have been able to do that. Yet he's lazy? It's astounding the hypocrisy.

SAM what is so moral about lying stealing cheatin? Why are you so afraid to type the word GOD? I am willing to bet that GOD would rather see the illegals change their own government for the better instead of the corrupt system they are living under which also commits crimes against humanity, GOD helps those who help themselves. They can change for the better! They need to stop feeling like everyone owes them! PROTEST against the MEXICAN government become law abiding people and run for PRESEDENTE!!!!!

You illegals call yourselves PROUD? Upstanding people would never be proud of lying cheating stealing. If you want to be fine ,proud upstanding people then why don't you try to change the government in your own country? Get rid of the corruption that plagues every crevice of your being. The lies, corruption and crime against humanity by your government is like the flesh eating bacteria that can consume and kill a human being. Form political groups and protest for honest government. Why do you come to our country to steal from us? With all the energy you put into trying to change us (that won't happen) put in into changing your own country try a TRUE democracy work to improve your economy. Stop being the butt of jokes. Let the world see a country that they can take seriously! YOUR THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE MODERN WORLD. By telling these stories of "fake marriages etc. you show us the LOW INTELLIGENCE OF YOUR GOVERNMENT. Stand up for yourselves and get Mexico out of it's third world status.

This article goes a long way into proving illegal aliens are not as beneign as pro- pathway to citizenship lobby paints them.
I wish these self confessed felons go to jail.
Deport 11 million illegal aliens regardless of race creed or color. YES WE CAN!!!!

It is important to remember that laws passed by people are not morally binding. In America, we have had ( at various times) a number of laws that made it legal to 1) prevent women from voting 2) keep another person as an animal (chattle slavery) 3) prevent the consumption of alcohol 4) condone to use of cocaine and heroin. Any proud American will fight and disobey a law that they find morally reprehensible. There are plenty of laws that allow for cheating, lying and stealing, but since they have been codified via legislature, some (I'm speaking directly to you David Foster) seem to think that it makes these laws somehow morally justified. Laws cannot legislate morallity. The laws of the United States are not all morally correct or incorrect just becasue they are our country's laws. I believe in "G-d, family and (lastly) country". A person who puts country before G-d and family should reexamine their moral compass.

Imagine how you'd be treated if you wanted to game the system to become a citizen of Mexico or Honduras or Guatemala. You would not be welcome, I assure you.

This whole illegal immigrant hate is so stupid! it is so simple to solve the problem! Make ppl who are here in the US citizens and secure our borders! Dont believe the hype ppl! America spends billions on Space exploration, "big business" ventures, & war! yet the towers fell! where was the choppers that can fly low? Where was all our tax dollars when hurricane Katrina hit?lol I bet the ppl on top of the towers was think, " i can't believe this shit, my govt is gonna let me die"! Then the govt let the ppl that went to ground zero to help die too cause they did not want to pay their health bills!lol Who's the real enemy amongst us? maybe when were facing our deaths, we will understand!

People here in the states are not anti-immigrant, they are anti-illegal immigration, there is a big difference. What people in the states are against is people breaking the law!
Most people, maybe 99%, are immigrants or their families came from another country. There is a coherent immigration policy in the states, a process, a law, you follow it. In every country in the world it is illegal to cross undocumented, whats the big deal of the states having that same law?

These people are criminals, I have no sympathy for any of them. They are cheats, lairs, and fraudsters. Is this how they live their lives, when they don't get what they want they commit crimes? Says a lot about them. They are bad examples of their cultures and should be ashamed, a true disgrace. Yes we need Immigration Reform. We need reform to hire more agents to hunt down people like this and jail them for breaking the law and making a mockery of our laws, marriage, and trust. We don't need another amnesty, this story and history shows us that millions of more people will just come to the US illegally after this amnesty and just wait for the next amnesty. Did I say these people are criminals?
