After allowing 12 million illegals in over 20 years, and millions more before that, now you want to complain about fairplay and the rule of law? The US has failed to enforce the border and immigration laws for decades, an amnesty is our just punishment for our failure to do so.
The important issue is not the illegals already here, but preventing illegal immigration from today onward. If we fail to control the border and fail to effectively punish employers of illegals, the problem will only continue.
I've always supported legal immigration and have always spoken out against US policy of wide open borders and illegal immigration. Amnesty is not the answer.
>>>>The important issue is not the illegals already here, but preventing illegal immigration from today onward.
The issue is whether there will be guest worker-amnesty included in the any border enforcement bill, or whether the House will demand HR 4437 become the new law of the land. I support the latter.

Read my tagline. On that we agree. And if we do secure the borders, along with punishing employers who violate the law by hiring illegals, we will remove the major incentive for foreigners to come here illegally. WORK * JOBS * EMPLOYMENT
I agree. Any guest-worker/amnesty law will reward those who've gotten here illegally and encourage more to come. I oppose any bill that includes such provisions.
