personally... i think anyone who expresses the will and desire to be a productive citizen of the united states should be given citizenship.
its tragic to see an intellegent, motivated young mind denied citzenship. you would think people such as this would be rushed through the system and put to work, paying taxes as soon as possible
i do not, however, think that illegal immigrants deserve any special treatment what so ever. the fact that they are even allowed in schools (highschool or any other) confuses me. it should be law, that any undocumented immigrant be reported when applying for ANYTHING. no banking accounts, no jobs, no schooling.
on a side note, i think that anybody who can't speak enough english to at least function in society should either be enrolled in a manditory english class, or kicked the hell out. not being able to communicate can be dangerous for all those around you in a lot of places.
