Was that the same Bill Brady who “wouldn't comment,” on the Arizona Immigration law, according to the AP on May 12? Was that the same Bill Brady who told a La Salle County Tea Party Rally crowd that he opposed the lawsuit filed by the Obama Administration over the Arizona Immigration Law, and who “received loud applause and even whoops when he said he would not grant ‘amnesty or sanctuary’…” according to the La Salle County News Tribune on July 14?
You need to ask all candidates who support CIR how amnesty would benefit any of the 25 million unemployed citizens and legal residents, i.e., how would allowing the 8 million illegals in our workforce to keep their jobs help millions of our most vulnerable. Blacks have the highest unemployment rate today, with Hispanics close behind. And don't allow anybody to give you the B.S., "Americans won't do farmwork." Only 4 percent of illegals are in agriculture, the rest are in construction, transportation, manufacturing and service and hospitality.
Unfortunately Brady is what we have at this point. He’s light years better than Quinn.
From a policy perspective, what are folks opinons on a path to citizenship that is the same as if they were waiting from their home country. A foreigner can automatically register as a documented worker who can legally work here and begin functioning in our employment/taxation system. They have to apply for and complete the exact same steps outside of the fact that they can stay here under legal conditions. Obviously, those with criminal backgrounds would not qualify and need to be booted, and those here and documented would lose their status and get booted if they committed crimes.
Other than the idea of mass deportation is there a better solution?
This IS illinois.
They just want the Mexican gangs to clean up the streets of Chicago.
Quick! Somebody sell this moron the Brooklyn Bridge. They don't want citizenship you moron! If they did, they wouldn't be carrying Mexican flags to their protest rallies! Geeeesh! It's not rocket science!
This clown doesn’t deserve your money or votes. Citizenship for illegals sends the wrong message for the millions who are waiting to come. It’s been tried, and failed, and we don’t need Republican politicians who can’t get the message.
Thanks for the Post!
LORD, please let me get a job in TEXAS, REAL SOON! Amen.
These politicians are completely brain-dead.
