"“These persons could live legally and without fear in the U.S.,"

Oh please. Can we stop with this line of BS? They are invited to the State of the Union Address which means they passed very rigorous security. How frightened can they be?

TREASON against the Americans

As for the shibboleth that the children of illegals shouldn’t suffer the consequences of their parents actions, by the same token they should not benefit either.

Since when do their parents - illegal aliens by admission - choose who our citizens will be?

By bringing their children here, or abusing the Constitution by having them here and claiming they are “Americans” we bow to them as the people who decide who the Americans are.

Nothing could be further from our Constitution.

There are a lot of ambiguities in this proposal.

For example, no one who has committed a crime other than illegal immigration would be eligible. But as everyone knows, 99% of illegal immigrants used fake IDs to get jobs. Would that be OK if they admitted their actions and paid a fine? How large would the fines be?

We need to support Amnesty FReepers. Get this out of the way, and we can keep Obamacare on the front page. GOP will retake the Senate and increase their numbers in the House, I tell ya!

Who is considered an illegal alien for the purposes of their amnesty ideas?

Is it just for the person who entered without passing through a customs inspection (walked across a border, hid in a car trunk, arrived by sea in a cargo container)?

Does it include people who came on a non immigrant visa (student/tourist/etc) and overstayed?

Does it include people who came on a non immigrant visa (student/tourist/etc) but made a visit home before each expiration but worked while here in violation of the terms of their visa?

Does it include people like Aunt Zeituni who ‘come and go all the time’ but have deportation orders which they ignored?

I got through to a human in Boehner’s office the other day, that means not enough people are calling. Please call these people and tell them to stuff it.

The document is not ambiguous at all. It’s amnesty. Legalization = amnesty. Period.

The hoods are coming off. Many conservatives-in-name-only are fine with amnesty as long as it is DWR (Done While Republican).

They don’t “put up with them.”

These people are chosen for them.

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...

Boehner and the rest of his conspirators hate the United States. They have not only destroyed their own careers they have also destroyed their party. But this is dwarfed by the damage they will do to the United States.

I encourage everyone to cut off the money and to change your voter registration to not Republican.

The leadership’s principles do treat young undocumented immigrants differently, however. House Republican leaders declared that lawmakers should give a pathway to legal residence and citizenship for young immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children.

This is a rolling amnesty. Many of these so-called "children" are upt to 30 years old. They will be able to sponsor their illegal parents for legal status and eventual citizenship. They will also, as American citizens be able to sponsor their siblings and grandparents who are abroad. Millions more will enter.

And what happens to enforcement when everyone is considered eligible for permanent legal status? They will be given work permits to compete legally against American workers.

Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here--the object of their crime--is amnesty. And they get to the head of the line compared to the 4 million intending immigrants waiting overseas for their turn to enter. They played by the rules, completed the paperwork, underwent background checks, etc. What kind of message does this send to people contemplating immigration to the US?

No mention in the principles of reducing the number of legal immigrants coming in annually. We don’t need 1.2 million legal immigrants a year.

Oh YES, Mr. Obama, since the country isn't going down the crapper fast enough, let us help you add 11 to 20 MILLION new DemonRAT voters to the rolls. Thank you, sir, may we have another?
