The idea of offering a solution to established residence for those who have come here illegally and established a productive lifestyle makes sense. So does keeping in mind that there should still be a penalty paid for illegal entry.

The best suggestion I have heard is that people can register for resident status and then their manes can be put on a NO VOTE data base so they cannot become instant members of the democrat party and vote themselves gubmint handouts.

I’ve been saying for a long time, give them a green card, NOT a path to citizenship. I like your idea of resident status AND a no vote list. This could be as easy as the statement on the front of a green card “not to become a citizen” or a different color card. After all, on state photos IDs, there is a statement which says “this is not a driver’s license.”

No. The idea of recognizing a statute of limitations on the most recent illegal entry into the country makes sense.

If they can keep their noses clean for seven years, then they can get a NON-VOTING resident status card, as you posted.

They can NEVER get full citizenship. They can travel freely into and out of the US on their country of origin passport.

They are not counted as citizens for the purposes of the census.

They are not able to convey Natural Born Citizenship to any children born in the US.
