"A realistic national debate would center on discussing amnesty or a special "path to citizenship" for only the first three categories"

Tell you what. How about no "path to citizenship". How about after the border is secure, we offer temporary guest worker passes for those who have work. I'd also like to see restrictions on type of work and limits on percentage of workforce that is imported.

The reason why is this. VERY VERY few Illegals WANT citizenship. They do not come here yearning for citizenship, they come here for money. Some work for it, some don't. Those that want that "path to citizenship" wont be hard to find. They are the ones that have probably filed at least a cursory paperwork for SS numbers etc.

You’re right, of course. But the “open borders” crowd controls the enemedia with their endless parade of sob stories. This is why I advocate changing the debate so it is not us denying poor Jose, who rides a bus two hours to school one way, lives in a shack with 12 siblings and even speaks good English a “path to citizenship.” It is they, who insist that Raoul, a gang banger who deals drugs and whacks people, be able to piggy-back on Jose’s accomplishments.
