Some type of immigration reform IS needed.
A "path to citizenship" isn't it.
Show me some other type of reform and I will opine on it then.

A bill for congressional reform would better serve the country.

Does anyone doubt that Bush or Hillary or McCain or Obama will sign this the minute that it hits the desk?

The only path that should be allowed for illegals:
Join the army
Fight for this country
Become a citizen

If those Visas don’t provide some sort of normalized status after the 5 years and IF they must return to Mexico after the 5 years without right to return except through ordinary immigration AND IF the fence is built, criminal illegals are ALWAYS deported, and employers of illegals without work visas are consistently sought out and fined . . . then maybe . . . I’ll wait for analysis by the conservative groups.

... despite the political minefields that surround the issue. What minefields? All 3 major presidential candidates (4 if you include Huckabee) support shamnesty. I am surprised that a broader form of shamnesty that would grant US citizenship to anyone on this planet hasn't been proposed.

I was thinking more like “Mexico is south of here. South is that way. Get walking on the path to Mexico, and don’t come back.”

I think that was basically the path for the germanic tribes in Rome. They took over in the end and that was the end of the road for Rome, and particularly for the Republican traditions of Rome.

No way. Military service is much more important than that. We don’t need law breakers as mercenaries to gain legal status. What kind of message does that send?

Some type of immigration reform IS needed.Don't confuse reform with enforcement. The illegals problem is entirely the fault of the President and his lack of enforcement of the existing laws governing labor, immigration and border control.
We could retain our existing laws and not have a problem with illegal aliens of the magnitude we have now if the existing laws at the federal level are enforced.

They need to get out and get in line.
They are screwing people over who are trying to do it the right way.

I don’t either. These are green card holders, i.e., legal permanet residents. There are about 30,000 now in the the military. Yes, their citizenship applications are expedited.
