I could even support actual amnesty. If it were coupled with several decades of zero or greatly reduced immigration and strict enforcement of the laws.
While A could happen, B and C are quite impossible. So I can’t support amnesty in the end.
Reagan signed an amnesty bill, then it was not enforced, not, I believe, even under Reagan himself. A few calls from Big Business GOP contributors and attempts at enforcement dried up.
Yes. I did support Rick Perry, wholeheartedly.
The country would be in a lot better place if he’d been elected.
Walker wasn’t running (I was hoping if Perry got the nomination, that he’d choose Walker for VP).
So I’m thrilled that Walker is in the race and doing so well.
I was just going to ask, isn’t that amnesty by another name?
From your link:
“....I voted AIP as a protest against the GOPe because I live in California and my vote for President was therefore otherwise immaterial.”

Thank you. That wasn’t so hard, was it?
“A “path to citizenship” is written into our Constitution and has been since our founding. Stop twisting his words.”
That’s for legal immigrants, not illegal aliens.
How dense can you be—that is amnesty.
And it will be thee end of our country.
Illegal aliens can do it, too. They also have a path to citizenship. They only need to report to a U.S. immigration office back in their home country in order to get started.
Illegal aliens can do it, too. They also have a path to citizenship. They only need to report to a U.S. immigration office back in their home country in order to get started.
They do that living back in their own country, not while living in ours illegally. Anyone can apply for U.S. citizenship. No one is supposed to be living in our country illegally while doing so, otherwise the word illegal holds no meaning.
There also are many who have “overstayed” their student and tourist visas - they just stay.
They need to be addressed too.
Lol
U and I on same page
Bttt
With all due respect to Cincy wife whom I like
Giving foreign invaders a way to stay in the country is “amnesty”, no matter what it is called
That’s correct, and that’s how. That’s the path.
Yes, he should be like Ted Cruz and support a 500% increase in H1-B Visas and granting work permits to the illegals who are here!
Why send them back, like what Walker wants? Cruz and the Chamber of Commerce want to create second-class citizens with work permits!
How can citizenship for illegals not be amnesty?
Thank you for representing the LYING Cruz wing of the party so well!
I guess when Walker wants them to go home and apply for citizenship (like in the constitution you supposedly adore) that is amnesty.
What does Ted Cruz want? A 500% increase in H1-B Visas and work permits for illegals who are here. Those are the Chamber of Commerce positions.....just like Cruz's vote on Iran and TPA.....Cruz is in the pocket of the Chamber, not Walker.
So, when Walker tells them to leave and use the legal route, it is semantic games?
Please enlighten us with more of this wisdom!
And Walker has said the same thing about being against amnesty.
But Cruz supports a 500% increase in H1-B visas and granting work permits to illegals who are here. Those are Chamber of Commerce positions that will create a second-class citizen living among us.
From what I can tell, Okie, you do not support anyone.
I do not want to attack your candidate, but understand what do you stand for?
I think you have attacked everyone running.
No, the constitution describes a legal immigration process.....and that is what Walker says the illegals must do....go home and come back through the legal process like everyone else.
That is not amnesty. Only LIARS want you to believe it is amnesty.
I have not selected anyone. Is there a problem with that?
I do not want to attack your candidate, but understand what do you stand for?
That is abundantly clear from my FR page, but you can start with this interview as it is the most broad based source. The interviewer was associated with the Future of Freedom Foundation.
I think you have attacked everyone running.
And praised not a few as well, including Walker. He's done some good work, no doubt. But see Post 53 for what I said here. I have praised and criticized every serious candidate (i.e., not Pataki etc.) except Jeb, who has earned only my scorn. I doubt you have a problem with that.
