THE goal of fixing our broken immigration system is further away than ever. President Obama’s executive orders — which would allow up to five million of about 11 million illegal immigrants to stay in this country — have been challenged in the courts, and Republicans, a majority in the new Congress, have held up appropriations and confirmations in retaliation.
Neither side is ready to compromise. But the failure to fix our immigration laws is not an exclusively Republican or Democratic failure. Just as we created the problem together, we must solve it together. There is one way to start: Mandate E-Verify for all employers — and make it the vehicle for legalizing unauthorized workers.
________________________________________________________________________________________snip___________________
As two political veterans who will never run for office again, we have a suggestion: Congress should mandate E-Verify, but pair it with a process for gradually legalizing immigrants, on a case-by-case basis. In short, law-abiding unauthorized immigrants who are already working would, under this plan, be able to come out of the shadows — but without a blanket legalization for all 11 million.
That would fit both the Republican goal of step-by-step reform and the Democratic goal of providing permanent legal status to unauthorized immigrants who satisfy certain criteria (passing a criminal-background check, significant length of time in the country, connections with American relatives). This would put aside, for now, other issues, like visas for high-tech workers, the system of family reunification and the long-term status of the children known as dreamers. . .

And real border security.
Here’s my deal.....NO WELFARE of ANY KIND.....and they MUST have LEGAL SPONSORS!
The only way out for Immigration Reform, is to enforce the current laws, drop all attempts to give citizenship to anyone here illegally, build a physical fence along the complete border and use e-Verify for everyone and for all social services.
1. Stops future Illegals from entering.
2. Gets rid of freebies for Illegals.
3. Makes it next to impossible to find or keep a job.
Sounds like they are picking more authors from the insane asylum.
We don't want to legalizing unauthorized workers, we want them to stay in their own country!
You are caving....
We don’t enforce laws and say the system is broken. With that logic a perfectly functional car engine that isn’t running is technically broken too.
Enforcing E-verify would certainly be a good start.
Wonder why it’s never been done.
Oh, because that would limit the hiring of illegals!
So the problem with ANY good solution- and this plan has promise-is that it would place a limit on the hiring of illegals.
That cannot be allowed.
How about mandate e-verify... And use it to make all the illegals inemployable? At which point, many will leave on their own.
Exactly right. When states in the U. S. get tough on enforcement, that exact thing takes place.
You don’t have to round anyone up. You just get out of their way as they head somewhere else.
Fifty states put some teeth in enforcement, problem solved.
All aboard to El Paso and points south. Yes we can. AMF!
What's this "we" crap? I didn't help create it an neither did any of the people I know. It's you self-serving, arrogant, mind-numbed drogue bureaucrats that did it.
I wish them all the horrors of the problem they created.
B T T T
Get rid of the plaguey tyrants and start from scratch.
Build Wall to rival China’s great wall. Build it now.
Cut off welfare of all forms to illegals.
End born in America citizenship if your parents are here illegally.
Penalize employers for hiring illegals.... that includes us for hiring Obama - who can’t pass e-verify.
Pass laws and if necessary a constitutional Amendment to allow all states the right to deport illegals without having to go through the federal farce. Allow States - like Texas - to become contractors for processing illegals. Other states and the Federal Farce can send captured illegals to them for a processioning fee.
