As long as there is a penalty of some kind for those who came here illegally and some serious penalties for anyone who hires an illegal in the future, I have no problem with this proposal, just as long as the temporary status doesn't get turned into direct green card status.
I hear there will be a $1,500.00 fine for each applicant who broke our laws. IMHO that is justice served. Border jumpers only get a slap on the wrist now, and if every on of them who sign up have a job and can prove they can support themselves, I think this isn't a bad deal. But to me the most important part is to make sure there is stiff penalties for those who hire illegals, I mean like seizing all their assets and jailing them.

Income tax was NEVER to go above 6% either, when that "temporary" measure was shoved u.... er, invented.

Were you an adult in 1986?
The amnesty that was supposed to fix the illegal immigration problem?
Even if you were not, it is readily obvious that it did not work.At all.
Now you celibrate another version.
In your world, whatever that is, you might perceive a net gain.
In my world, we are screwed again.
My next door neighbor is a business owner.He works his butt off mowing lawns, no illegals or under the table employees.
He does not employ slave laborers.
The man I hired to clean my companies office is a small businessman.He works his butt off, and does a good job without resorting to illegal slaves.
Market rules?
This is a right to work state.
I grew up with unions, and I thought their time had passed, but I am willing to admit I was wrong.
It seems a whole lot of people in the USA think creating and maintaining a new slave class of people is acceptable.
Did we not have a civil war on this issue?
Only a complete idiot thinks we wont have another.
But I guess you think you are safe, behind your gated community.
Think again.
