Well I for one and I know I will be flamed, but we really need to calm down on this immigration thing. These people are not idiots and we are alienating Hispanics. I think a fair compromise that is not amnesty can be reached, but not if everyone digs in and holds their breath.

More Democrats voted Tuesday then did Republicans. The base decided to skip the election so we now live with the mess.

How? Millions of illegal aliens have committed, and continue to commit, felonies. Theft of SS numbers, etc. If you don't give them amnesty, then you have to arrest as many as possible and then at least deport them. None of them could ever be eligible for citizenship.

Yet, giving these felons a 'path to citizenship' is at the heart of the 'comprehensive immigration reform' bill the President craves.

Also, thousands of businesses have committed crimes by knowingly hiring illegals. The same 'comprehensive immigration reform' bill gives those businesses, and their executives, amnesty for their crimes.

How do you propose compromising all that without giving amnesty? Please explain. Seriously.
