Janice Arnold-Jones is running for NM house district 1.

She has come up with maybe the best idea to counter the left's hold on Hispanics/illegals. Could be the game changer we need.

She suggests a path to citizenship but (because they broke the law) the don't get to vote.

She is already backing down, saying no vote for 5 years but that's not good. What is the fear of an illegal? Getting pulled out of their life here, I think. Would they trade that insecurity for their vote? Most likely.

Any time period should focus on when they can be eligible for benefits.

I’m a high school drop out and even I know that you can’t create a class of citizens without voting rights. It would NEVER pass constitutional muster.

Sorry. as others of said. Won’t fly. We had a 1 time amnesty in the 80’s. sorry they all missed it.

kick them the eff out of my country. We have citizens who want to work but can’t because someone who should not be here has taken their job.

Nope...nope...nope...10,000 times NO! No for many reasons,not the least of which is that some Federal judge would throw out the “no voting” part.

Taxation without representation?

The no vote part would be thrown out by every single judge in America.

Cut off the benefits. No free schools, no free healthcare, no welfare and e-verify and the problem fixes itself.

We ain’t amending the constitution to create some sort of caste system.

No. No voting. No SNAP. No WIC. No EBT (or whatever it’s called) No Medicade. No Section 8. No subsidized housing of any kind. No “public assistance” for utility bills. No free cell phones. No driver licenses. No grants, scholarships, or any form of education assistance from US sources, no “in state tuition”. No free school lunches, breakfasts, or after school programs. No bilingual education or duplicate forms in spanish. What did I leave out? Re-instate immigration quotas.

Just no. No nothing. (No nada. Por nadie.)

I have met Janice Arnold-Jones on numerous occasions. This move by her surprises me. I suspect she has been influenced/pressured by campaign advisers. This is nothing more than pandering for the hispanic vote. Amnesty in any form does not work as our nation discovered in 1986. I had a lot more respect for Janice before this ‘clever’ bone headed move.

“She suggests a path to citizenship but (because they broke the law) the don’t get to vote.”

A few people have done this one better - a path to LEGALITY but no citizenship.

Look, if you don’t take away the birth-right citizenship I don’t think anyone will care. That might need to be taken away to really stop illegal immigration. I do not know if the constitution would need to be amended, I’m not qualified probably to even consider that question in a serious way.

But no illegals should ever get citizenship, even if they get legality. Take 1/2 a loaf and like it, or don’t like it and lump it.

Brilliant! What a marvelous plan!

Especially considering the wonderful job that has been done keeping illegals from voting in the first place!

Constitution? We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution!

What will this new class of American citizens be called, “Drones” maybe?

Anything that does not deport all Illegal Aliens is AMNESTY....

You win American voters by deporting Illegal Aliens...you lose voters by giving them Amnesty. Just ask President McCain

The GOP needs to get over their fetish of Illegal Aliens. You do not win Hispanic voters by supporting Illegal Alien Amnesty

Illegal Alien Amnesty is Anti-American Bigotry. This is just another GOP Bigot

I’m really surprised the media hasn’t suggested the obvious. Annex Mexico.

Voila! Problem solved.
