They could do an amnesty that could allow illegals that have been here more than say 10 years without incident to become legal and all others would be required to leave or what ever.

..and you would be against that because? By the way what Ridge said is absolutely right despite the pitchfork attitude of a lot of people here. We have millions of illegals and we have to recognize them. I've yet to see how we're supposed to stop them from coming in. They don't all come over fences in California. Some fly in on visas and stay. Some come on boats. Did you know we have over 88,000 miles of coastline? Stopping them from coming in is a pipe dream. Dealing with them when they are here and getting them to come out is what is needed.

Your right that we have to recognize them, for the criminals they are and deal with them. I realize that there are other ways for people to come in illegally, but the majority is from Mexico over the border. If we would beef up the patrols, use technology that we have, etc. We can stem the tide. Call it pitch fork attitude, but the fact is they broke the law and they need to be punished, not rewarded. It should not matter if they flew in or what ever, if they are here illegally and the cops or who ever come across them, they should get their butts kicked out.

What you are saying that anyone that steals are car deserves to be rewarded with a new Ferrari.
