thing about amnesty, if they're no longer 'illegal' they can become self sufficient citizens which is ultimately what most immigrants want - the opportunity to improve.

provide a path to citizenship and work on streamlining immigration processes. then we could focus on deporting the folks who are here for the wrong reasons.

Well damn. I never thought of that. make them all legal, and fix it where anyone who wants to can come, and we will not have an illegal problem anymore.

So basically you are saying, get a head count and name when the flood across the border, and all is good.

They can be citizens in your house, but not citizens of the US. Making them citizens would be a slap in the face to everyone who has immigrated here legally. IMO, we can't continually have an open run for people to hurry up and get here so they can get legal status. I say close up the border tighter than a bull's a$$ at fly time and don't let anyone else enter illegally. Then attack the problem with the 12 million illegals currently here. Maybe give them some kind of status so they can work, get a drivers license etc so that they are in the system. But citizenship? No way, that is an honor and a privilege, not a reward.

LPR status no chance of citizenship

sorry I'm a little late to the party but it took me a long time to read each item (i'm a product of public education).

Really he oversaw it? Can someone explain what it means to oversee something to me?

Amen.. I find it odd that the same nits who cry about low wages, think it is cool to have 12 + working here illegally. If there were no illegals, unemployment would be very low, and you would have to pay a lot more for good help.

How could anyone in their right mind not realize 12+ million illegals drives wages way down, reduces the tax base, while significantly increasing the demands on social services and infrastructure .

Disclaimer: This started way before obama and will be around way after him. The problem is politicians and special interest on both sides of the aisle.

you're born where you're born, i didn't do anything special to enjoy the benefits of being an american citizen.

LPR status no chance of citizenship

But only when the flow is stopped. No more Reagan era disasters

And that might be the best compromise solution. Deporting 12 million people isn't going to work. Give them status so they can work and live their lives like everyone else, but no citizenship or voting rights.

But only when the flow is stopped. No more Reagan era disasters

Agreed, the flow must be stopped first.

you're born where you're born, i didn't do anything special to enjoy the benefits of being an american citizen.

And if you didn't do anything illegal to enjoy them either.

[decocker 7,198]

but i have done illegal things. still do. still here.

and your view is very humanitarian and selfless. However we all know we can not survive as a nation and have unrestricted immigration.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

No way, you've been an Obama nutswinger since 2008.

That is what happens when you read what you want to read rather than what's written.

Well damn. I never thought of that. make them all legal, and fix it where anyone who wants to can come, and we will not have an illegal problem anymore.

If immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate.

it doesn't have to be unrestricted immigration. but there are more ways we could capitalize on more legal routes of immigration than we should suffer from it, as a country.

I only read what you post. You are an Obama apologist and I don't say that to insult you.

You need to address that attention deficit somehow.
