Congress' new immigration plan was bad news for tens of thousands of poor Mexicans who depend on a U.S. guestworker program for temporary jobs in agriculture and other seasonal work, such as landscaping and construction.

Only because they have NO IDEA of the sacrifices made by so many, for so many years, to build and maintain the things that this country stands for.

-instead of forcing them to choose between the two countries.

There's our angle... Senate Bill Discriminates Against Illegal Immigrants! ERacist Legislation Unfair To Mexico's Working Class!

I don’t get it. If a boarder jumper immediately gets a “Z Visa,” which allows him to work and stay in the US for an unspecified amount of time, what’s the incentive to pay the $5000 and jump through all those hoops to become a US citizen.

And I predict that, once those “Z Visas” are issued, there will be a clamor from the left saying “well, they’re legally here and paying taxes now, so we should let them vote.”

"The United States already has enough people with college degrees. Who is going to cut their tobacco?" asked Bermudez,

Maybe college or high school kids who would otherwise get the jobs if your nasty backside weren't here depressing the labor market.

Predictable. We need leadership which cares about us first, since the world will never have anything else but its own interests at heart.

I want to know who is going to issue the 12-20 million “Z” visas. This will be a full employment act for whoever gets this task.

Yet the congressional plan came as welcome news to the millions of Mexicans who depend on the $23 billion sent home each year by Mexicans living in the U.S., many illegally.

Tax these wire transfers at 30%. Paid to state coffers for immigration costs.

Nothing much is going to please these chronic complainers.

Therefore, do the right thing immediately, and build a 2,000-mile fence along the US-Mexican border, with adequately manned and controlled designated crossing points. This extends to ports on the West Coast and along the Gulf Coast as well.

Right now, the best workers and brightest minds that Mexico has to offer are being sucked northward, in search of a better future for themselves and their relatives. At the same time, some of the worst dregs of Mexican society are also slipping in, with lawlessness and criminal activity as their prime objective. Mexico has been tolerating the loss of its best, as it is also getting rid of its worst as well.

The problem is, us gringos cannot tell the difference between the best and brightest, and the real criminal class among them. So the best and brightest end up getting the short end of the stick, when they are rounded up, right along with the criminals, who, in the scheme of things, are much more able to play the system once they are released (because there simply are not enough detention facilities in this country).

Why don’t we attack Mexico, raise the Ol’ Red, White, and Blue, and declare that America has extended it’s borders. Then start drilling for oil putting Chaves out of business, reaping the tax revenue from Cancun tourists and other popular would be American tourist destinations.

In addition to that, all male captured former Mexican nationals, including those already in the U.S., would be immediately enrolled in our armed forces and sent to Iraq, Afghanistan, and any other would be aggressors. 6 years of duty (all why assimilating into the American culture) would be enough to earn their freedom from capture and allow them to apply for citizenship or be dropped off at the shores of the country of their choosing. Their family members would soon meet up with them after providing the labor needed to restructure a proper free market business climate south of the Rio Grande.

Just trying to look for other solutions.

What a bunch of ungrateful bums. Was the platter that delivered amnesty not quite silver enough for them?

Illegals don’t like the plan, so that means we are supposed to like it.
