Under the plan, illegal aliens become legalized and get to stay for the rest of their lives.
You heard correctly.
What happens if we enact the guest worker program WITHOUT any of the earned citizenship amnesty?
Seems self deportation will happen to a large portion of the 11 million.
After all the new id rule will be problematic for employees and employeers.
guest worker program is NOT linked to amnesty portion of the issue. You can have one without the other.
Yeah, get to stay if they pay taxes, pay the fines, and have no criminal records, which a significant number of illegals in the country have. So it's hardly a cake walk. Read the stats on illegals and you'll see that. Far more of them have criminal records than is admitted by the advocates for them. And that would prohibit ALL of them from taking advantage of any kind of worker program. The ones who don't have criminal sheets would only be able to stay if they register, obey the rules, and PAY TAXES, and that's by biggest beef. There is a $70 billion a year shortfall nationally for what the illegals get from the system and don't pay because so few of them pay taxes. If all of them were paying taxes, that would take a serious bite out of that and ease the burden on the healthcare and education systems, even moreso when you consider the ones that would be deported for non-compliance. So it's not as cut and dry as you want to make it sound.
What did you people want from him? Did you want him to announce that we are going to nuke Mexico? I thought he did a doggone good job on an issue that is a lose-lose situation for him.
