“The legislation would provide a 13-year path to citizenship for most of those now in the country without authorization, requiring them to pay taxes, fees and a $2,000 fine. Legalization would be tied to increased efforts to secure the Southwest border with a double-layer fence and drone surveillance.”
BULL CRAP! Let’s go back and look at the history. These sorts of things (like securing our border) were supposed to happen when Ronald Reagan was duped into amnesty, and again when Bush stupidly got on board the amnesty train. It’s all lies and eyewash. The simple truth is, the misguided morons want to legalize the illegals because without them social security goes down faster than the Titanic. The illegals (most notably Mexican illegals) are the only ones reproducing. The morons think these are the social security/medicare/IRS taxpayers of the future. Unfortunately, they ignore the fact that these illegals TAKE more social resources than they pay into - and that will never change.
How about legislation that states ‘if you came here illegally, you can never become a citizen unless you leave and apply for entry from outside the country - with a minimum wait of 18 months. If you don’t do this, within a year of the passage of this legislation, you can apply for a work visa, stay, and pay taxes, but you can never be a full citizen and vote - ever.’
