I don't know why some ppl dont just go through the whole process legally. But I guess regardless of how "easy" we make it, there are always going to be those who simply won't bother with it.
But I'm talking about people who are here illegally. If they run over the border (or simply overstay a student/work visa) because they want to make some money to send back home to their impoverished family, and then are hired by a company at dirt-poor wages...they're illegal. They don't get the citizenship study guides sent to them, they don't go to citizenship classes, and they sure as hell aren't going to appear anywhere near a courtroom to get some ID.
When I said 'process for becoming a citizen' I meant for illegals, should've clarified that.
Then come here lagally. There's a legal way to do it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
