Legalization And/Or Amnesty: Can It Ever Be Done Right?
American Thinker ^ | 07/12/2025 | Anony Mee

Posted on 07/13/2025 6:46:28 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

As of December 2024, there were approximately 40 million illegal aliens (or people who should be classified as illegal aliens) living in the United States. Before Biden entered office, there were roughly 20 million illegal aliens in America. Two-thirds of that number were people who had overstayed lawful admissions

Under Biden another approximately 20 million entered, some of whom were apprehended at the border and released into the country, some were allowed to apply fraudulently for asylum and be admitted, some crossed illegally without interception, some were admitted under the bogus CBP-1 humanitarian parole program, and some came flooding in from Temporary Protected Status countries for whom Biden extended the program.

All of them should leave the US, either on their own or by deportation. With perhaps a few exceptions (maybe CPB-1), they are all criminals. Every day, we hear stories of violent illegal alien felons and their pitiful victims.

We need to understand that unauthorized entry or overstay is a crime. Working without authorization, without paying mandatory payroll deductions (federal and state), and using a SSN or name not their own are all crimes. Accessing federal and state benefits under a false identity is criminal. Using another’s identity to access medical care, obtain bank loans, go to university, or buy a car is criminal fraud.

It is a corruption, and it is corrupting the soul of the nation. We are not a people who should wink at the commercial advantages gained by those who break immigration law by hiring illegals and not giving them the pay and benefits to which workers are entitled. Illegal aliens force everyone to pay more for housing—whether rental or by purchase—because illegal-driven demand exceeds supply.

Amnesty is not being done right at the present time. The running chickens are supposed to come to a screechin’ halt once they leave their home country that is threatening to kill them and apply for Amenesty at that new country. You cannot just say I’m going to request amnesty in America because the gringos have loads of money and we’ve got race cards. That isn’t how amnesty works.

The Trump administration is planning to dismiss asylum claims for potentially hundreds of thousands of migrants in the United States and then make them immediately deportable as part of the president’s sweeping immigration crackdown, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

It marks the latest in a series of moves by the administration to bar migrants from receiving protections in the US. As federal authorities come under pressure to deliver historic immigration arrest numbers, administration officials have quietly been working on efforts to make more people eligible for removal.

The people being targeted in this case are those who entered the US unlawfully and later applied for asylum, the sources said. Their cases are expected to be closed, therefore leaving them at risk of deportation. It could affect hundreds of thousands of asylum applicants.

No on who illegally enters this country, or overstays a visa should ever be granted a path to citizenship.

Maybe some kind of temporary work permit for agricultural workers on a year by year basis with return to homeland each year would work, but no green card nor citizenship.

Congress needs to hear that loud and clear.

No.

Either change the Laws or enforce them.

“We do we get our “due process” and are able to start kickin some butt back across the river?”

That could be consider assault.

No. Not ever.

You don’t reward people for them breaking laws.

It also encourages others to do the same thing.

It also is a slap in the face to evedy person who does respect our laws and comes here legally.

Illegal aliens force everyone to pay more for housing—whether rental or by purchase—because illegal-driven demand exceeds supply.

Absolutely true. In economics it's called "demand-pull inflation." Housing is a relatively inelastic market; i.e., most families only need one residence. So it doesn't take a whole lot of "extra" people to push the price of housing higher. The result is higher housing prices for which there are often larger mortgages at higher rates.

Depress the market clearing price of housing by deporting 40MM people and what you'll get is mortgages that are bigger than the selling price value. The unit price is high enough most people don't buy extra houses if the prices come down. At that point, the holders of those mortgages have motive to default. That would crash the banking system.

Does anyone here see the fine hand of the Fed here? I knew you could.

No. No amnesty. You don’t do for one, what you can’t or won’t do for all. Just send them all back. If they were smart, they’d self deport. If they do that, they can reapply to come back, but if they are deported, they cannot come back...and that’s just fine with me.

Yes. The first step is “You go back to your original home country and apply from there.” :P

We do already have guest worker programs. I would actually support the ability of someone who is in the guest worker program who is following the rules of the program to apply under the normal immigration rules to immigrate permanently, but only as long as they continue to play by the rules of the guest worker program and leave as required. They screw up once, all their applications and visas get trashed and they get the boot.

Funny how it was only 11 million, pshaw! when the democrats and cheep labor rinos were running them in as fast as they could.
Now it’s40 million and gosh—that’s just too many to deport, gotta amnesty ‘em!
No is the same in Spanish. Get them outta here.

Enact the Eisenhower plan.
Bring the numbers down to what Eisenhower had when completed.

Use the political and religious asylum requests.
Everybody else, go nuts.

The deal circa 1986 was a one-time amnesty.

Is that deal going to be honored, or not?

The invaders have been invited in by:
1. Democratic politicians who would effectively disenfranchise me,
2. businessmen who resent the American citizens who quite reasonably want to get paid a living wage to have a comfortable living and who would kick those American citizen to the curb to:
a. make a little extra profit for themselves
b. secure the pick of the females for themselves.

These politicians and businessmen would make my life a living hell.

I say to Hell with such politicians, businessmen and their invader helpers.
