The Obama administration will begin moving towards reform of the nation's immigration laws early next year to give legal status to an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants.

An updated version of immigration laws could be supported by many members of congress only if border security is improved, according to Janet Napolitano — Homeland security Secretary — who was designated by US President Barack Obama to lead the administration's efforts to overhaul immigration laws.

I can only imagine how many independent voters are feeling suicidal right now, realizing they voted in this piece of ——. We’ll see how it goes in 2010 and 2012.

We may see a backlash of staggering proportions. I sure hope so.

More demographic warfare. BTW, the last amnesty in the 1990s was predicated on securing the borgders, and that money to do so never materialized, yet no one is pointing
that out.

Our prisons are full of Hispanic crimionals, and no one is pontingthat out, yet the feds will onlt partially subsidize their stays in state prison, where they learn to be proper American criminals even before they learn anything about citizenship.

WHATS WRONG WITH THESE IDIOTS? Simple, they are trasonous to our civil society.

Conservatives need to go to war against the left, and we need to work hard or lose our nation.

It is not just the 12 to 20 million illegals who are already here, but it is also the 66 million to 100 million they can sponsor thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification. The country will be finished with the stroke of a pen if an amnesty is passed. Everything else, whether it is cap and tax or ObamaCare will just be rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

According to a Bear Sterns Study released in January, 2005
There were at least 20,000,000 illegals with up to an additional 3,000,000 more annually.

Other estimates are currently 30,000,000 to 40,000,000.

And what about the 100-200 million family members that will hurry across the border just in time for amnesty?

Well this solves the problem of giving illegals the free medical care.

We have had mini amnesties, but the only real explicit one was the "one-time" amnesty signed by Reagan in 1986. The US Government estimated that one million would apply, but the real number turned out to be 2.7 million. In order to qualify, you had to have been here for five years, learn English, pay administrative costs, etc. There were also strict enforcement measures contained in the bill including fines against employers. Fraud abounded and the enforcement measures were never enforced.

Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986". "8 USC 1101 note"

Amnesty is forever. It matters not what Obama’s poll numbers are. The U.S. of A. is finished—game, set, and match.

the real number is probably over 20 million invaders from mexico. A country that doesn't enforce it's borders or value its culture won't survive.

Laughable number.

Then of course there will be “12 million” more that will come to replace the former cheaper workforce.

How many times does the nation have to be punked by the "I will gladly give you a border fence on Tuesday for an anmesty today" crowd?

Reagan was not a perfect president, and Amnesty was one of his failures.
