those two groups are not going to be deported under any circumstances - we have to face some realities here. what are you going to do, orphan their american citizen children? force them to sell their homes?
all I am saying is, if a decent compromise could be offered - that had some real border security and employer sanctions, legalizing those two segments as part of a deal would be OK with me.
remember, the US still needs legal immigration because we have declining birth rates and have had a 30 year abortion frenzy.
Okay, let's say we do legalize 20 million illegals. Please tell me how we keep them from bringing over their immediate family members like every other legal citizen can, or do you propose we bring them in as well?
What you are asking me to sign on to, is making legal between 15 and 30 million people, then signing off on them bringing in anywhere from 40 to 80 million more.
There's no way in hell I'm buying off on that scenario. You can forget it right now.
Illegal immigrants need to go home and take their children with them. There is a fairly stong debate about whether those kids are actually citizens or not. They've been treated that way, but as I understand it the 14th isn't as clear on that topic as some have been lead to believe.
I did not bring those parents and children here. I am not responsible for whatever hardships they face as they get their arses kicked over our southern border.
Those illegal aliens can be free from the penalites of our immigration laws, when they abide by them.
I didn't create this mess. They did.
