If illegals are made legal, that is amnesty. Thanks for clarifying.
Perry solves illegal immigration by legalizing them.

You can’t really be that dense, so we must have a misunderstanding somewhere.

Perry would solve the illegal problem by giving them legal “access” to the U.S. to work. The number given such access could then be controlled, provided the border is properly policed. People here illegally, would still be identified and sent home. This is not anything like amnesty.

It is giving those here illegally the choice to either line up for a green card enabling them to work here legally as citizens of another country, or to risk staying here illegally and being caught doing so and returned to their home country. Furthermore, the number of green cards could be legally established, so even some who wish to stay here legally might not qualify, at least at first, and would have to return home to wait in line for a card.

If you really think this is amnesty, we’ll just be talking past one another. I define amnesty as giving in and issuing all illegals here already their citizenship papers. Perry isn’t advocating that, nor am I.

And, as I said initially, the law should be changed so that the children born here to the holder of such a green card should not be given automatic U.S. citizenship. They should be citizens of the country in which the mother is a citizen. The same should be true of the children of illegals.
