What you and many others are proposing is a "bracero" type program we had in effect in this country for many years.
This program worked to everyone's benefit.
Illegals came into this country, worked for a specified period of time without welfare benefits, then went home to Mexico to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
This was a case of fixing something that wasn't broken.

Thanks for your thoughts. Can you be more specific about your answer to the question...

Should all or some portion of the Illegal Aliens be granted an Amnesty and be thereby allowed to change their status and acquire legal residence in the United States?

I think I know, but I don't want to misinterpret anyone. Thanks.
