“Actually, it is what she said. Stop the bleeding, then create a plan for the families here. Step 2 involves voluntary registration. Step 3 involves deporting all those not registering. Step 4 is taking a concerted approach to those wishing to legally become citizens. Step 5 is providing a patriotic path to citizenship. I gleaned at least that much.”
You have just described amnesty. This is total BS. I would give the illegals the total amnesty period of 90 days to leave the U.S. They can do this easily by getting their affairs in order, getting a tank of gas (they all have cars) and then heading home for MEXICO or wherever. Not returning to Mexico during the grace period, they would be deported and the cost of the deportations would be charged to the government of Mexico.
Back in Mexico, they should be allowed to apply for what was once called the “Bracero” program which is a work visa only with a definite expiration date.....renewable of course by the employer.
Get off this $$it of talking about a “green card”. Pompous Bill O’Reilly threw around those words loosely. Green card (such as my wife has) means they are PERMANENT RESIDENTS, and have all the rights that citizens have, except they cannot vote.
By doing this our country would not be slapping those in the face who are still in their own countries, going by the rules and waiting in line so to speak for a chance to come to this country legallyl
Over and over it must be stressed.....Legal vs. Illegal.
Legal, Si, Illegal, No way Jose
“I would give the illegals the total amnesty period of 90 days to leave the U.S.”
Then what...what about the millions who wont leave...how do you propose to “round them up”...
Amazing, isn't it? Allow all illegal aliens to "register" to stay in America.
I understand that, but the all or nothing approach isn’t going anywhere. The gangs will get the boot. We had better start somewhere, or it’s not going to matter at all.
