The United States was built by immigrants and they will continue to come illegally. We can create a way for them to earn their legal status by ensuring that they work for five consequetive years and pay into our Social Security and IRS systems. This would be a win win situation. If you really want to be in this country you will do what is necessary to earn your place in the U.S. and the U.S. will increase it's reveneue. There were approximately 11.2 million immigrants in the U.S. as of 2010 we can not continue to ignore this issue any longer.  Most illegal immigrants are hardworkers and their children are productive members of society because of their parents strong work ethic.  Our government has ignored this issue for far to long and only act like they are interested when election time comes around.  Lets sign this petition and bring national media attention in a positive way to legalizing immigration.
