Illegals who have two years of college or military will be issued green cards three years after the bill is enacted provided that they were brought here when they were under the age of 16. They dont have to go home.

This is one sweet deal, and I would expect a good number of these young people to take the privileges of permanent residency. They probably wouldnt owe much in back taxes given their young age.

I don’t want their money, I want their absence. And, yes, I will either pay big money for lettuce or else grow my own. Vegetables are overrated anyway. The part of this that amazes me is the part where supposedly intelligent women daiily leave their children in the care of people who have already committed a federal offense.

And I thought we had it bad back in November. The headline in Drudge was “Here Come the democrats”. Now it will be “Here Come the mexicans” - more democrats. THrow in a couple of big terrorist attacks here in the US and that should about do it: democrat paradise.

Semi-correct.

“They already get government benefits. Californians tried to stop this (”Prop.187”), but the courts dictated otherwise”

A lower court ruled against it, Gray Davis refused to take the measure to a higher court, effectively killing the bill.
If it had gone higher, most legal experts felt it would have passed the constitutionality test.

How is that even remotely lawful?

very simple. He just didn’t force the issue by not seeking an appeal. Better than a veto.
