Cruz sounds exactly like Seinfeld's soup Nazi.
I don’t agree with your plan.
If amnesty does ever come to fruition...
How about no dual citizenship. Either you are a US citizen or you are not. And if you don’t accept the deal, you will be found and sent home at the very first opportunity.
Letting anyone, from any country, stay here who came here illegally is AMNESTY.
the definition has been refined to “ any person that enters illegally and is allowed to stay under any circumstances” has been given amnesty
Failure to enforce the laws decided upon by the peoples representatives is Amnesty and Treason.
Amnesty is any change to laws that allows those breaking them to benefit from that change.
Never again.
We did that in 1986 and it resulted in 10 times the number of illegal aliens.
Fool me once..........
Yes, Silvio, by all means, let’s entrust enforcement of your brand new fantasy immigration laws to the same folks who are steadfastly refusing to enforce the current ones. That should solve it right quick like.
I have a rule: anyone who hasn’t been in the country long enough to know when to use the plural form of ‘Senator’ doesn’t get to have an opinion on immigration.
Amnesty is when you don’t shoot a burglar.
We need gunships, killer drones and land mines on the borders.
I’ve got a better idea.
Send them home.
ALL of them.
EVERY last (bleeping) one of them.
We got the same son and dance when Reagan passed it in 1986 and NOTHING happened.
You want amnesty, OK, can come in and you get a green card but you will NEVER be allowed to vote.
This will send the Democrats into a frenzy, just say to them, “so, is it not true that the only reason you want amnesty is to swell democrat voter rolls?”
First, he gives a definition and then proceeds to argue for ways to get around the law. Talking out of both sides of his mouth, he is.
My plan has subtle but significant differences:
1) The illegal immigrant would be given a chance to self-deport before a real American takes office as president; the election of a decent American as president constitutes fair warning.
2) Illegals found in the country after January 20, 2017 would undergo a full criminal background check including fingerprints and DNA swabs, then be deported and permanently barred from any legal reentry or path to citizenship. The fingerprints and DNA would be used to identify that individual in the future and prevent reentry.
3) The illegal will, before deportation, pay a fine for violating the law and or not filing tax returns;
4) The illegal will also undergo a period of detention before deportation during which the illegal will live in a tent in Arizona, no wifi, no TV, until all appeals (if any) are exhausted;
5) No path to citizenship or green card will be available to this person; and,
6) Employers will be harshly punished, including jail time, for hiring someone without papers.
I’m okay with the above plan, and it’s close to the one presented. The difference is my plan does not reward criminal behavior. Those who came here illegally in the past or who come here illegally in the future should not have any advantage at all over those from the same country who are following the law and applying for legal entry.
Wonder how many friends & relatives Rubio would fast-track for citizenship if he had the opportunity?
No “amnesty” whatsoever. Force the feds to enforce the laws already on the books. If you’re here illegaly, you get a one-way ticket back home, with NO chance for return. If we find the persons that employed you, THEY go to jail. If you’re a state or government entity that runs a “sanctuary city” or “sanctuary state” the politicians, administrators, and law enforcement for that area get stripped of their titles and put in JAIL.
The laws are already on the books, it’s up to the people to force the politicians to ENFORCE them! Hold their feet to the fire, and throw them out if they refuse to comply.
No thanks.
I say we deport Silvio Taco back to Mexico.
