Changing the laws to benefit those breaking them is always bad policy.
No mention of H1-B visas, or did I miss that?
Way too complicated.
Just end all immigration for the next 40 years.
We have had so much in the last 40 years that it will probably take twice that to assimilate them. If ever, since it’s been overwhelmingly Mexican “immigrants”...translation: colonizers.
And the only Constitutional Amendment that would help: no birthright citizenship for the children of illegals. It doesn’t need to be an Amendment, but laws are easy to change, so it would help if it WAS an Amendment.
No “guest worker” programs. Ever. They are back doors. Nothing so permanent as a temporary worker.
For a relative newbie on FR, you certainly have an appetite for bandwidth. You lost me at the second paragraph. And my finger fell asleep holding down the scroll button to get to the bottom of your construct. I think DJT would have a similar reaction. So I’m not sure FR is the best place for you to audition for a job with the federal government.
“Everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax. There will never be DACA amnesty”
Brian Griffin:
“It will be a matter of law within two to three weeks.
Trump is the only person of substance in DC who would fight for our future and he has agreed to go along with the scofflaw-loving Swamp creatures.”
Lurk more or get bent noob.
Quit hangin’ out with Linda Grahamnesty. Quit surrendering to the demonic swampocrats.
Just a general immigration comment:
I hate it when we are told “We are a nation of immigrants.”
Yes, that is true. For the most part.
What I also dread saying is that immigration is essential for the country to remain strong. And not just smart coders or engineers immigrants. We need the entire spectrum.
The baby boom is leaving the work force. The Gen X family is, demographically, a lot different than the boomers. There are a lot fewer of them, many more are childless, and even more only have one or two offspring.
The Millennials are putting off starting families for years.
Altogether, we are facing a demographic cliff. This means that not only will we be in need of engineers—we are going to need adult elder care personnel as well. The people doing this stuff now are retiring and/or leaving the workforce.
The US is about twenty years behind Japan in this aspect—and the economic impact is going to be huge.
So...the only way to maintain the economic lead is to build up our working population by a huge number. Sure, people are living longer—and that is simply going to stress the system more.
AI and Robotics will help. A lot. But they are not going to push our wheelchairs around.
Anything short of deportation for all illegal alien dacacas and their illegal alien parents is a slap in the face for IMMIGRANTS...
Could have saved you/rest some time/bandwidth:
#1 - Enforce the EXISTING Laws
#2 - Terminate any/all welfare
#3 - Prosecute any/all lawbreak(ing|ers) and those enabling/abetting.
#4 - Read, defend, uphold the plain English reading of the 14th.
No eVerify (no authority), wall can wait for the ‘fall-out’ of the above.
W/o #1, more lawyer-speak is just useless mumbo-jumbo
In order to become a citizen, the individual must return to their native country and apply for reentry along with all other applicants in their home country.
No reason to give amnesty at all.
And what good is it to shut off the spigot of them after they’ve flooded your home, deciding to just “legalize” and let stand the water that’s already waist high?
Trump owns Democrats after the shutdown he hasn’t offered them anything, he upped the amount from 16b to 25b, no chain migration except mom and dad and sibs.
Dems will never accept, DACA is dead

“permanent resident status on a conditional basis”
My apologies for letting that one slip by.
Perhaps:
Six-Month Temporary Resident Status on conditional renewal basis
