Nope. No more nose holding. That BS is just about done. We are going to see more "drafting" of real leaders not worthless skum liers that clame they are "conservative republicans" when in fact they are @zzholes.
DONT tell me I have no choice except for Bad or Worse. I will find a way out and leave you "holding your nose."
If this was the typical bill where, after a few years, people would wake up and see how bad it was and fix it, I might agree with you.
But if the Kennedy bill gets passed, the illegals are all getting amnesty, they will never have to leave, and they will all be granted citizenship, making it nearly impossible to correct the mistake.
The republican plan does NOT give these people citizenship, and while it allows them to stay and work, it's on a plan that does not include citizenship.
Citizenship requires them to leave the country. I can't say what else it requires, the details aren't being published. My plan requires those with less than 5 years to leave the country and wait until their turn comes up. It allows those 5 years or more to pre-register and be pre-screened. If they pass screening, they can pay a yearly fee to stay while they wait in the back of the line for citizenship.
So they might become citizens, but only after everybody who followed the legal procedure are served, and then only under the quota system, not an automatic right like the democrat's plan.
We did the "no compromise" thing last year, and now we have a democrat congress to deal with so it's no likely we'll get what we want. And if we push republicans to throw out their plan, the democrats will PASS their plan.
This isn't like an election where two years later you get to go again with the right candidate. If the democrats pass their immigration bill, we will NEVER get to pass another one.
The republican plan seems to NOT grant automatic citizenship to all the illegals. It could be the basis for something that is tolerable. At LEAST read the plan and consider it in light of the alternative before rejecting it and essentially chosing Kennedy's bill. Cut of your nose to spite your face if you like to torture yourself, but do it in an informed way.
