This is a controversial issue. Some people, and certainly the government, seem to believe they should be allowed to stay. Many citizens believe if they entered the country illegally they have already broken the law and should be sent back to their own country; however, there are those who do not agree with that. Some believe they should be granted amnesty and others disagree.

Should illegal immigrants get driver license?

YES!States have the right to issue driver's licenses to people who are in the United States illegally. However, some states do not give you this option.This question is not is separate from the immigrations policy. It is argued that if undocumented immigrants get licenses, they will use them to work, travel, ect. ect. However, giving licenses to undocumented will not stop them from doing that anyways. Giving licenses should be a way to keep the road safe, being undocumented or not, having a drivers license is the only way to prove you are a safe driver and that you passed a written and behind the wheel test thus you are allowed to drive. There are thousands or even millions of undocumented immigrants who are not able to prove their capability to drive a vehicle safely in the United States. Instead the government gets MILLIONS of dollars from the undocumented immigrants who drive. If they were to get pull over for the most minor traffic law, they fist get their car taken away, (in California) they have to pay $200 to the Police department, they have to pay $1,200 to for having their car impounded for 30 days, and in court they have to pay a $600 fine for driving without a license plus whatever minor or non-minor traffic violation they were responsible for. Why would the state give them licenses? the government would much prefer to take advantage of them. In the United States there are MILLIONS of undocumented immigrants, kids who were brought here since they are small and grow up to find out they can't do what most Americans can do. America needs to fix the immigration policy for those who are here, and spend most of their life in this country. Undocumented immigrants who work in the United state are not being a "burden". To contrary beliefs, undocumented immigrants DO pay taxes and outrageous fines and sometimes they do not get any of the benefits that they pay for.

Why did nativists believe that fewer immigrants should be allowed in the country?

Nativists believed that fewer immigrants should be allowed in the country because they felt that immigrants took jobs away from native-born Americans, caused social problems, and diluted American culture and values. They also feared that immigrants would not assimilate into American society easily.


Do our natural laws that determine us citizenship meet the needs of today's current us population?

In every generation, immigrants have come to America seeking a better life and more opportunity. Some decide they want to remain and become citizens. To become naturalized requires a number of requirements; some of these include being at least 18 years old, living in the United States legally for at least five years, being of good moral character, showing the ability to speak and read English, and being able to pass a test about US history and government. But there are some people who believe the current immigration laws are not working, since there are a large number of undocumented (called "illegal" by some) immigrants who live here, and many have been here for a long time; yet they are not eligible for citizenship currently, nor are their children, even if the children were brought here unknowingly when they were infants. The debate over whether children of undocumented immigrants should be allowed to become citizens is very contentious, as is the debate over whether undocumented immigrants should be allowed to become citizens or simply deported.

What does it means when you dream about immigration?

The issue of illegal immigration is in the media constantly right now, and is a major problem around the world. So a dream about illegal immigration or undocumented immigrants would not be surprising or unusual. But dreams are about the dreamer, so this dream suggests that the dreamer is trying to get somewhere or do something that he/she should not, or does not have official authorization to do.

In California state Can illegal immigrants buy lottery tickets what happens if one wins?

For my own opinion it is legal for illegal immigrant to buy and play a lottery game, because if there aren't! the goverment should put in writing at the back of the ticket that no illegal or undocumented resident can buy or play the lottery game or they can even put an ads outside of every store or groceries store that selling lottery game, that undocumented or illegal immigrant can't buy or play lottery game. But since theren't doing that it is legal for any illegal or undocumented one to play and collect prices. And one more things if the goverment did that, i think the lottery game will be out of business soon, because the majority of lottery buyers are mostly undocumented or illegal immigrants.
