Processes can be changed, what don't republicans understand about this?. And yes we do have a process for people who who want to come here legally, but how does that help someone who was brought here when they are 1 or 2 years old and want to be a U.S. citizen and in most cases do not speak the language of the country their parents are from? It doesn't.
Got a tip for us?

So that’s the inmigrant’s function for you? Just clean excrement from your toilet?

I think most here forgot, or don't know, that President Obama asked congress to pass a measure to deal with these Kids - Congress could never agree on anything and did nothing. He then wen back to his attorney general and admin lawyers for options. DACA was the result. He said this wasn't a permanent fix - it was a stop gap. What makes us think congress will be able to pass something meaningful to help these kids now? Repealing DACA is wrong. Neither Trump nor Congress have a plan that benefit anyone. until they do DACA should be left intact.
That is literally his own fault for knowingly hiring illegal aliens.
If they have a work permit, it's perfectly legal. Those with DACA status have work permits.
Absolutely! I mean, after the iPhone 8 of course. Well, after the iPhone 8 and new Apple TV. Actually, after the new iPhone 8, Apple TV, and new iMac. Well, more likely after the new iPhone 8, Apple TV, iMac, and MacBook Pro. Oh wait - I need the new Apple Watch too - I'm on 1st gen. Actually, I'd like to see what is going to happen in iOS 12....
Alright he can stay...
Incorrect. If a law is broken, I can't think of any conservative who would be against the law and due process.
We have a sensible approach - it's called the immigration process. You're in fine shape if you follow it.
That's much better, except I didn't call anyone in here a racist, sexist, etc, so I'm not sure why you've painted me with that particular brush. I'm willing to discuss issues, but I'm not willing to tolerate intolerance and I don't take kindly to people who ask me to do so just because it's their 'opinion'.
I've tried debating actually (with people in real life), but I find a lot of people don't argue in good faith so it often doesn't lead anywhere productive. The political divide in the country is clearly a problem at the moment so I understand where you're coming from and do agree we need more honest debate in this country, but to say I'm the reason Trump won is ludicrous.
Tim is using his power at apple to become wayyyy to political. He's head of a computer company, not a political lobby group. If I were a shareholder, I'd be saddened he's not focussed on his job 100% of his time AND using his company position for such grandstanding.
What is the normal/average amount of time 1.5 to 2 years to become a citizen? Didn't DACA give renewable 2 year deferment AND the eligibility to apply for a work permit?
But it was not (and still is not) illegal to employ them since they are excepted by the DACA EO.
Dems will tell you that they can't vote because they are not citizens. Next they will tell you that it is racist to check someone's citizenship status before allowing them to vote.
That's why Dems are against voter ID. They received millions of illegal votes in this past election but still lost.
DACA is a democrat tool to pander to a group of illegal voters so that democrats overtake the vote of actual citizens
DACA = Democrats voters
He should acquire another title: Chief Social Justice Officer.
I did find this...sounds like English is already required for naturalization:
Do you have to speak English to be a citizen?
To become a naturalized U.S. citizen, you must pass the naturalization test. At your naturalization interview, you will be required to answer questions about your application and background. You will also take an English and civics test unless you qualify for an exemption or waiver.
Actually central and South Americans refer to themselves as Americans or South American.
As I’ve stated citizens of the US have just become accustomed to referring to themselves as American even though that is not the name of the country.
It is but it's a total joke. It's oral, not written. Hardly a test (and you can waive it).

Uh, no. It's not illegal to hire them. I thought we were talking about the DACA recipients and not the company.
Please provide a source of all of these illegal votes that republicans love to talk about but never have any facts to back up.
It is not possible to become a US citizen in that time frame. You first have to obtain permanent residency ("green card"), and then live in the US under that status for at least 3 or 5 years depending on the category. Only then can you apply for naturalization. Obtaining a green card can itself take years, and may not be possible at all if you don't have family ties and/or a certain level of formal education.
DACA beneficiaries already receive a work permit ("employment authorization document") once approved. As of today they have no path to permanent residency or citizenship, since their lawful status automatically disqualifies them.
You are quite literally wasting your time. You are trying to engage in conversation with the fact-free-hysteria zone. Just look up previous posts.
