If I were a Mexican citizen without a lot on the ball, and the US government announced Amnesty with a citizenship track for any Mexican citizen in the United States within the next couple of months, I would high-tail it for the border that very same day, if only to keep my options open.
Am I expected to believe that the same US government that has looked the other way at illegal immigration for decades will suddenly change course after this 12 million is granted amnesty?
Or as these immigrants “move up” in society, will we again make excuses that cheap labor must be permitted to immigrate into the US because no one else wants the work?
And if on the ball, would make sure to bring proof of pre-2007 residence with me. I wonder what they will accept as proof, utility bills? Those seem to suffice for voting. Of course almost all bills are now printed off of a laser printer and takes zero effort to counterfeit. What does the gubermint have, 48 hours to check them out? Impossible!
