I have a problem with the term “Pathway to Citizenship”, (which we already have by the way) as if it's a new thing in our nation... and then connecting it directly to Amnesty, which it is definately not amnesty, as I see it.

This confuses the immigration issues of documented workers, political asylum and the overall rules of immigration which are under the umbrella of immigration as well.

When you add the element of closing or not the borders..before you can even remotely sort all and more of the above. Close the borders. It's so simple.

I agree with you on the border issue...they should have been EFFECTIVELY secured on 9/12. That didn't happen and won't. I believe it is the CFR's intention to secure the perimeter of the continent, as suggested in Dr. Robert Pastor's testimony. Who also, by the way, suggested that the solution for illegal immigration was to bring the US economy DOWN to that of Mexico's. geee I wonder if they'll succeed? CFR = "think tank" my azz!

And yes, I agree, we currently have immigration laws which set forth a pathway to citizenship. However, giving an illegal alien ANY path to citizenship that does not include returning to country of origin and waiting there, in line, BEHIND ALL OTHER APPLICANTS WHO'VE BEEN WAITING TO DO SO LEGALLY...is when "path to citizenship" = amnesty.

We must effectively secure our borders and the solution to our illegal alien problem can be resolved by 1) attrition through enforcement and 2) an end to birthright citizenships. Illegals WILL return home, on their own, if our current immigration laws are enforced. If we say No jobs, no banking (wire transfers, mortgages, auto loans, etc.), no driver's licenses, no federal, state or local benefits...they'll have no choice but to leave.
