Some temporary workers will make the decision to pursue American citizenship. Those who make this choice will be allowed to apply in the normal way. They will not be given unfair advantage over people who have followed legal procedures from the start. I oppose amnesty, placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship. Granting amnesty encourages the violation of our laws, and perpetuates illegal immigration. America is a welcoming country, but citizenship must not be the automatic reward for violating the laws of America.

Unlike politicians I could give a rip about trying to please people who can't be pleased. The speach is a good step. A good start. If you ecpect the moon overnight, well. That's just disconnected from reality. It would be nice to have it that way, but that's not how the system works.
