the right to receive help from the government, like getting a drivers license
if their criminal records dont prohibit them.
They should become legal immigrants because they have fought to come to
the U.S. As long as the person works and has no criminal record why not let
them become legal? They have come from far land with hopes and dreams.
Some people think its bad for the economy and they think its not right for
them to come. Now days Mexican people are the ones working more than
Americans, because they know that they have to give their family a better
life. How many homeless people are out there asking for money in the
streets when they have papers they could have a better job and have a
better opportunity to get everything they always wanted; they dont realize
how hard it can be for an illegal immigrant.
Immigrants have been through a lot and put their life in risk when they drive
without a license because they never know when a cop can stop them and

I think illegal immigrants should be made legal citizens. Knowing about what
they went through they deserve an opportunity just like everyone else in this
world no matter where we come from we are all human being and we should
all have equal rights. Everyone should get along and there shouldnt be a
difference between anyone because we are all lucky to have what we have
accomplished.
