What part of paying a fine, learning English and getting back to the end of line do you not understand? He means not jump in front of those who wait for years to be able to come in legally

I heard recently that he would like to get the constitution changed so naturalized citizen could become Presidents. Being a naturalized citizen I hope it comes on the ballot so I can vote no on it as I am absolutely opposed to it.

Remember Hitler was Austrian until Germany was stupid enough to give him German citizenship

With his thick Austrian accent, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger quipped in his commencement address at Emory University this past week: "I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend. But with my accent, I was afraid they would try to deport me."

In another country in another time....they would have.

That is the definition of amnesty. The back of the line is the lawbreakers' home country. And what kind of message does that send to the approximately 3 million intending immigrants who have completed all of the paperwork and are waiting in their home countries for their turn to enter the US. Many have been waiting for years to enter this country. If you legalize the status of the lawbreakers, they are in the front of the line. Don't you get it?

We had a one time amnesty in 1986. It required the lawbreakers to have been here for five years to apply. They were required to learn English and to pay an application fee. If they had a criminal record, they couldn't apply. The USG estimated that 1 million would apply and the number turned out to be 2.7 million. The process was rife with fraud. And this amnesty just created the conditions for another one--only this time we have 12 to 20 million lawbreakers.

Ed Meese: Like the amnesty bill of 1986, the current Senate proposal would place those who have resided illegally in the United States on a path to citizenship, provided they meet a similar set of conditions and pay a fine and back taxes. The illegal immigrant does not go to the back of the line but gets immediate legalized status, while law-abiding applicants wait in their home countries for years to even get here. And that's the line that counts. In the end, slight differences in process do not change the overriding fact that the 1986 law and today's bill are both amnesties. There is a practical problem as well: the 1986 act did not solve our illegal immigration problem. From the start, there was widespread document fraud by applicants. Unsurprisingly, the number of people applying for amnesty far exceeded projections. And there proved to be a failure of political will in enforcing new laws against employers.

I find it amazing that your are essentially supporting the McCain-Kennedy bill. I have provided you with the costs of an amnesty and the fact that once you legalize tghem, they can bring in 70 to 100 million of their relatives.

The proponents of amnesty are wont to create the false choice between a blanket amnesty and mass deportation of 12 to 20 million illegal aliens. In reality, we have other choices and alternatives that don’t reward people who have broken our laws with the right to stay and work here and an eventual path to citizenship. The 12 to 20 million illegal aliens did not enter this country overnight and they will not leave overnight. Attrition through enforcement works. We have empirical data from Georgia, Oklahoma, and Arizona proving that it does. During the 2006 amnesty debate, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) commissioned a Zogby poll offering respondents not the false choice between mass deportation or amnesty (a word CIS did not use in the survey), but rather a three-way choice between mass deportation, earned legalization, and attrition — and attrition was preferred two-to-one over legalization.

I think you need to learn the meaning of amnesty. What Norris is describing is amnesty.Amnesty, from the same Greek root as "amnesia," forgives past crimes and removes them from the record for future purposes. In the context of immigration, amnesty is commonly defined as granting legal status to a group of individuals unlawfully present in a country. It overlooks the alien's illegal entry and ongoing illegal presence and creates a new legal status that allows the recipient to live and work in the country.

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986: The textbook example of an amnesty. The 1986 law's path to citizenship was not automatic. The legislation stipulated several requirements to receive amnesty, including payment of application fees, acquisition of English-language skills, understanding of American civics, a medical exam, and registration for military service. Individuals convicted of a felony or three misdemeanors were ineligible. No one disputes that this act provided amnesty.

This part says it all “Hence, they processed applicants and selected only the ones who would contribute to the building up and advancement of their grand experiment called America.”

How about trying these simple things...

1. Any person who is in this country illegally will never be eligible for citizenship, under any circumstances.
2. Social services and assistance programs are available to only American citizens. ID required.
3. Employers in America must obtain citizenship documents or lawful visa documents from every employee.
4. Social Security Administration must contact the employer if a submitted SS number is already being used by another employer.
5. Social Security Administration must contact employees when their SS number is used by another person. The US government will no longer be an accomplice in identity theft.
6. Every ineligible employee will be arrested and imprisoned until deported.
7. Employers who fail to notify ICE of ineligible employees will be fined $50,000 per incident.

Existing law says that person must be deported.

Yes, but such people and those here now illegally would be forever ineligible for amnesty (which is after all the goal of the DC crowd)

Normally that is the case if they have been found to have broken US laws. In fact, many of the lawbreakers could not even qualify for a tourist visa to enter the US.

Check out my post #6 and check out the link. I don’t know why he supports amnesty. My concern is that he does. The motivation is irrelevant for my purposes.
