[QUOTE] RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A new North Carolina driver's license set to be issued to some illegal immigrants has a bright pink stripe and the bold words "NO LAWFUL STATUS," raising concerns about whether the design will brand those who show it. The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles announced last week they would begin issuing the licenses March 25 following a lengthy legal review. The Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program grants valid federal work permits to qualified applicants brought to the U.S. as children without legal authorization.[/QUOTE] Source: [URL]http://news.yahoo.com/pink-stripe-nc-illegal-immigrant-licenses-eyed-204800831.html[/URL] I support this. We should be able to tell who is here illegally and who isn't. These people claim to be "scared"? Good, they should be. In any other country if you don't have your papers, they drive you to the border, or just throw you in jail. This entire illegal immigrant thing in the United States is getting out of hand. These people are crossing the boarder from Mexico and other countries, and then bitch at people saying, "We want our American rights!". They can have their rights as soon as they become legal citizens. I wish the president or the government would do something about this. If people who aren't citizens aren't pleased with what is being given to them, they can kindly get the fuck out or become citizens. They are entitled to nothing.

For a lot of people, it's either take a chance as an illegal immigrant, or be stuck in limbo for 5 years, or longer, waiting for a response which may not even be a "Yes". In places like Mexico, that time could very well be the difference between life and death. I'm not a supporter of illegal immigration, but countries should make illegal migration a less attractive prospect to legal migration, especially for those who are fleeing life threatening situations.
[QUOTE=Patriarch;39680981]As we all know, the America we know and love today was founded by [I]legal[/I] immigrants.[/QUOTE] Yes, legal immigrants are American citizens.
Now illegal immigrants are a problem, but not because they're horrible, lazy people, (and I'm not saying they are, don't get me wrong) but this: [QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;39680997]If your country didn't have an immigration system bordering on laughable,[/QUOTE] is the issue.
[QUOTE=UziXxX;39681004]Yes, legal immigrants are American citizens.[/QUOTE] You mean the people who crossed the atlantic ocean and tricked, murdered and stole from the natives? [I]legal[/I]
[QUOTE=UziXxX;39681004]Yes, legal immigrants are American citizens.[/QUOTE] Are you retarded, or did you just let my point pass over you?
[QUOTE=UziXxX;39681004]Yes, legal immigrants are American citizens.[/QUOTE] Technically America was founded by illegal immigrants.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;39681017]Now illegal immigrants are a problem, but not because they're horrible, lazy people, but this: "If your country didn't have an immigration system bordering on laughable," is the issue.[/QUOTE] I agree, most illegal immigrants that come to America bust their ass at shitty jobs that no one else would take.
If they know they're illegal, how do they get a license in the first place?

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;39681030]Technically America was founded by illegal immigrants.[/QUOTE] Technically founded by illegal immigrants and a revolution of which forced land away from another bunch of technical illegal immigrants. History is lovely at times.

[editline]22nd February 2013[/editline] If you immigrate to this country legally, you become an American citizen.[/QUOTE] That's bullshit. How are they being treated unfairly when they are [I]illegally[/I] here in the first place. They don't get to have a say whether it's fair or not.
Sure let them have that on their DL, it just proves the point that they dont have the same rights as others. HOWEVER, if they are going through the process of becoming a citizen, I think that they should have the same rights as full citizens

My point was that any time we try to hinder an illegal alien, people call us racist or inhumane. [editline]22nd February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Patriarch;39681095]Do you know anything basic about the history of America?[/QUOTE] Yes, because I actually paid attention in school. I can tell you were trying to be funny when you made your post about America being founded by "legal" immigrants. But the fact of the matter is, they were colonists, not immigrants. British subjects who were fed up with unfair British rule and decided to split off from the British.
[QUOTE=UziXxX;39681110]Hey man, I'm on your side. I agree with you 100%. My point was that any time we try to hinder an illegal alien, people call us racist or inhumane. [/QUOTE] Same goes for anything else. Have an opinion about any hot topic and people think it's racist and inhumane. I don't understand the meaning behind the pink stripe or why it's an idea anyways, but whether or not it's "fair" or "humane" is not for [i]them[/i] to decide. They are here illegally and they have no room to fight about what is fair and whatnot. Don't like it, then go back to where you came from. Very simple logic.
Here's a novel idea, why don't we make it easier to immigrate legally, so people don't have to come here illegally.
[QUOTE=OvB;39681196]Here's a novel idea, why don't we make it easier to immigrate legally, so people don't have to come here illegally.[/QUOTE] That would be too smart for our country to do. We like to do it the long and drawn out way here in America. Easier said than done though, but I couldn't agree more.

Little to no interference in their affairs, and they had their own assemblies with which to pass laws (the stupid one getting chucked out).
*sniff* What smells like Glaber in here?
[QUOTE=Irkalla;39680957]He said nothing wrong about legal immigrants. Argue the issue or fuck off.[/QUOTE] Sure thing. I'm a rightful citizen(by relation of my mother) of the United Kingdom as well as the United States, but thanks to some issues with my mother's greencard after her card expired a few years ago, I cannot willingly travel to the United Kingdom(nor can she) to meet family, without raising issues. We tried to get it re-newed but doing so would take time, as well as require a hefty(somewhat bullshit) fee. About $400, as well as something like $85 for registration. Please note my mother does pay taxes, and through out her forty or so years since moving here, she's held several different jobs and worked her legally. The present immigration laws are absolute horse-shit for the most part, and do cause some great issues with families that do come here to live legally. All though I'm not entirely against acknowledging your legality of residence, it's still bullshit people get cunted out for simply wanting to come here. Our country was created by immigrants, innovated by immigrants, and molded together by immigrants. I don't care if your Pueblo, Al-Asha, Fuji, or any of that. I want these people to have good lives, and be productive within the United States. If you can do that, feel free to come here.
