Now that we have defined the two words.... Illegal Alien... Why would we give amnesty and citizenship to individuals that have done something forbidden by law and by definition have allegiance to a foreign government? I can't get over this.

Why should they take a back seat to those individuals that take short cuts, commit crimes (being an illegal alien is a crime), and drain our government resources.
Who would do the work? Perhaps the teenage obese population would be less fat and facing diabetes if they had to, vacuum, mow the lawn, weed, babysit their brothers and sisters or neighbors' kids, work an entry level job at a fast food restaurant. Remember when it was cool to work at McDonald's. Remember when kids had summer jobs? They learned the value of a dollar and why it was important to get an education rather than spend a life time making minimum wage digging ditches.
I developed my work ethic doing yard work and then holding a full time summer job starting at the age of 14. My parents didn't force me to do it. I wanted to. Where is that drive gone?
