I have no problem offering amnesty to every illegal immigrant currently in the country - as long as Congress also immediately starts construction of a border fence.
YES there will be a wall/fence built with or without Govt!
NO never amnesty to a bunch of miscreants!
Evil is as evil does and we have fought against all that is the illegal aliens and will continue that fight and win!
'every' might be a bit much, but I agree. It seems to be more and more coming to some kind of compromise with stepped up security plus amnesty for some portion of current illegals. Those advocating mass deportations are living in a fantasy land, assuming by 'mass' they mean millions. The bottom line issue is to what degree illegal immigrants are willing to adapt to US values (assimilate) and how much will they be just another grievance group out for what they can squeeze from the rest of the people paying taxes here.
Make two years military service a requirement for amnesty.
Are you willing to sign on to allowing them to bring over close relatives like we do other immigrants? You figure out what 22.5 million times 2 to five people is and tell us again what you don't have a problem with.
I have a very big problem with this.
I also have a problem with Bush's intention to grant more guest-voter permits on top of this. And on top of all that, he says we should relax our immigration laws so more untold millions can came over at an excelerated rate.
This is one incredible situation.
WHAT????? YOU don't mind rewarding criminals?
Or, if politically correct jargon is more to your liking, invaders (also known as illegal aliens) disrespecting the sovereignty of our nation?
My forefathers didn't shed their blood so that fools one day would yield to unwanton demands for amnesty. No, sireee!!!
