RE :”Finally, we need to make the 11 million people who are here illegally obey the law, pay taxes and come out of the shadows. We have to get them right by the law in exchange for legal status, but not unbridled amnesty. This should include penalties, background checks to root out criminals, and the requirement that they learn English, understand the Constitution and be committed to our basic freedoms. We must ensure there is no special pathway to citizenship that puts them in front of people who waited in line.”

We been through this more than a few times.
The Senate amnesty bill was claimed by Rubio to do this.

Yet it still gave illegals food stamps under their kids names (no requirement that the illegals who get this ‘probation’ support their own dependents) and it gave them the EITC ($$$$).

To makes matters worse it exempted illegals and their employers from the Obamacare mandate meaning employers would get a tax cut for hiring them over us, all while they go to emergency rooms for free treatment that we pay for,

And these same Republicans calling for amnesty now are not complaining about these freebees that they (certainly Rubio) claim illegals wouldn't get, we can only assume that they agree with them, and the lies.

You see if Republicans don't go along with these freebees then few will sign up and Dems might oppose it, so they lie to us about it.

Straight outta the far left playbook.

They pay 25 bucks and walk? No record, no allocution to the crime, no permanent disability?

And they get to stay? Be police officers, firefighters and get affirmative action points because they’re Mexican?

Uh,when was a deal like that ever offered to the citizenry?

Nope. From the people we “employ”, nothing but the back of the hand and the a demand for cash from the other hand.

Russo can go eff himself. He’s obviously a plant and a traitor, sent by the establishment types to infiltrate and subvert the authentic TEA movement.

Arrest him for fraud and see if the judge gives him Amnesty.

Simple math. Russo thinks he can gather more money from
the amnesty crowd, than grassroots. Or at best, play both sides.

What shadows would they be, Sal?

Methinks some open borders lobbying group waved lots of cash under your nose, Sally.

“Fix” is a Federal Politician’s term for refusal to enforce existing federal Laws.

Thus, just force the Federal Politicians to enforce EXISTING Federal Border Laws!


Non-enforcement of necessary laws is an American crisis today, not down the road. Proper enforcement of laws is not happening regularly but instead, our leaders' pre-occupation seems to be keeping citizen dissent and opinions within stricter parameters.

What is happening to our Nation regarding lack of enforcement of necessary laws is mind-boggling. It's as if the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor and the USA did nothing in response...ever.

If they do all that, I’d be all for a more streamlined process that they go through legally to determine whether they are diseased, criminals, or not intending to assimilate.

Obama has done everything in his power to suck-up to illegals except fellate a latino on the steps of the Capitol.

We need to make it plain that Dems are in collusion w/ corrupt, greedy Third Worlders. The T/W has designs on the US---- and all that we possess. The calculated T/W plans include manipulating vote-crazed politicians---making backroom deals to exchange US tax dollars for votes.

Calculated T/W connivers figured out that organizing hyphenates into pressure groups and exchanging votes for giveaways is the way the Democrat party operates.

===============================================

Amnesty is a Third World ticket to the endless gravy train---US taxpayers are forced to finance Third World pressure groups---all of them, lined up w/ their hands out for zillions in "foreign aid."

LYING IN WAIT FOR OUR TAX DOLLARS---THESE IMPOVERISHED COUNTRIES CURRENTLY HAVE ORGANIZED PRESSURE GROUPS INSIDE THE US (here illegally): Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico (stateside)l Salvador, Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela.

It’s difficult, but we can do better than we are now. Right now there is very little fear of violating immigration laws.

Why, oh why would We, the People have any compelling reasons to vote for any gullible Doormat Republicans, or Obama Democrats who have promised to advance Obama’s Agenda to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America” by increasing the number of undocumented Democrat voters who are Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico?

The Exodus of the “11” million Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico back to Mexico would lower the US unemployment rate from 6+ % to 1+ % !

All Doormat Boehner has to do is NOT bring his Boehner Amnesty Bill in the House up for a vote and Reid’s Senate Amnesty Bill dies a well-deserved, and NECESSARY death.

We, the People have seen our Federal Politicians in the Republican and Democrat Party enable Obama, for over five years, to bring great harm to the United States of America.

Those, in “both” political parties, who can’t stand America, stand against We, the People.

We, the People know that it is time, - - - time for a change in 2014.

I would add, stopping all federal aid to so called “sanctuary cities” and punish any businesses caught hiring illegal aliens. Enough already with illegals getting more benefits than normal citizens.

No, they need to enforce the law. That is what they need to do.

Democrats and progressives and liberals destroyed the US Immigration program that was on the law books. They have to fix it.

You conservatives need to secure the border, with lethal force if necessary, and enforce the laws already on the book?

We can do better, but if you insist on trying to enforce stuff against human nature, you will fail. My suggestions are unassailable - as is the logic behind them.

Visa overstayers should be deported period. We do not need more people in this country with no respect for the rule of law.

In addition, Russo is not conservative. He is a plant. Foreigners who get their degrees in America should be required to go home and serve ther home country and help the country to become an equal player in the world economy.

And no talent in this country Russo? What about all the talented America kids that can’t get into the schools and when graduated are passed over for foreigners?

“11 million people” What color is the sky in Sal’s world?
There are at least that many just in the southwest.

Conservatives have been screaming for a secure border since `86, but nothing from Washington DC but illegal-friendly BS.
The federal government’s salient duty is to secure the states from invasion.
But what do they do?
They make noises about securing other nations’ safety, ignore our ongoing invasion and call for a 1986 re-set.
If they want amnesty, first build an Israeli wall and start enforcing their laws. Sine qua non.

Keep in mind, though, that our government thinks it makes sense to send billions of dollars—and American jobs—overseas and south while ignoring our own crumbling infrastructure and economy, So the impasse will continue, Sal, or there will be civil war or the feral government will reform themselves and start doing their jobs.
One last thing—to hell with JEB Bush.

What is “broken” is that we do not enforce the laws we have passed and we let almost anyone in.

Amnesty will bankrupt this country faster than anything. There is nothing fiscally responsible about that.

H. End birthright citizenship

I. Pass a law that no one who is here illegally, except for someone less than 30 days past their time on a tourist visa, can ever be readmitted to the United States again, or ever attain citizenship, regardless of other qualifications.

Sal, FU. Our immigration system isn’t broken. It is unenforced.
