GOP's Denham: ‘Un-American’ to Deny Citizenship to Undocumented
National Journal ^ | January 28, 2014 | Jordan Fabian

As House Republican leaders prepare to unveil their plan for immigration reform, addressing the undocumented population remains the thorniest issue.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that the GOP's framework will call for a path to legal status for many of the 11.7 million immigrants living here without papers. But the document specifically opposes a "special pathway to citizenship," except for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

Don’t these idiots know that there is already a pathway to citizenship? It is law. Those not following the law are criminals. Those who aid and abet those not following the law are criminals also. Congress critters are not exempt and are, therefore, criminals if they try to do it any other way.

Well that settles it for me! I'm definitely going to man the phones, pound the pavement, and get out the vote for my favorite Republican! See how smart Republicans are? They oppose a "special" pathway to citizenship!

If Americans can be measured by the quality of the people they have elected to represent them, then heaven help us.

Are Republicans that stupid???? Nobody with half a brain thinks that amnesty is a reasonable or smart thing to do. Immigration reform, reformed work visas and true enforcement . . . Yes. Amnesty and full citizenship and voting rights for those who flaunted our laws? Not no but HELL NO!!!!!! No part of compassion compels citizenship and voting rights for illegals??? Legal residency of some sort . . . maybe. Citizenship and voting rights? NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Have the big money folks held a gun to their heads? Why do they insist on wrecking the only voting block that can get them elected . . . middle America.

Yep. Only the shell, the outward forms of our republic remain.

Just as the Framers read histories of the decline of ancient republics, perhaps some future civilization will use our experience to avoid our end.

My plan: undocumented aliens should be escorted out and can come back if/when they do have documents.

The only documentation they deserve is a toe tag.
