This.

Ya. That’s what the democrats, or democrats who insist we call them republicans, always intended with these take from taxing the working stiffs to purchase votes

[HIDEK6]

most undocumented individuals are not seeking citizenship at all costs, but rather the dignity of living and working legally, contributing to society, paying taxes, being safe from deportation, and traveling to see family during the holidays,”

Since when is this our problem?

[skinny old man]

Send them to San Salvador too !

but rather the dignity of living and working legally, contributing to society, paying taxes, being safe from deportation, and traveling to see family during the holidays

And why is this not something that their home nations are working on?

And does she REALLY believe that they really never see family on holidays in their home countries? SMH

paying taxes?

They aren’t paying taxes unless they are fraudulently stealing some ones identity.

Funny how all those reps with Latino names are behind this abomination.

Salazar is evil. Most Hispanics hate the wage depressing illegal army.

[central_va]

I never trust congress critters with Hispanic names.

[yldstrk]

That’s the way my sister looks at it. What’s in it for her?

[HIDEK6]

And does she REALLY believe that they really never see family on holidays in their home countries? SMH

She is complaining about them going home for a visit, then not being allowed back in here.

Personally, to the extent there is any form of amnesty, I would prefer it NOT put anyone who gets to stay on the path to citizenship. "You can stay, but you can never vote" is preferable to "you can stay, become a citizen, and vote".

However, I don't believe for a second the sponsors of this bill actually believe that. "Residency without citizenship" is just the nose of the camel in the tent. A few years down the road, they will all decide that really isn't a good idea, change the law with a Democrat Administration, and make them all citizens anyway.

Any kind of "grand compromise" on immigration that makes sense for conservatives would require a Constitutional Amendment with terms the Democrats would never accept.

[butlerweave]

Illegals only want money to send back home , they don’t want to pay no stinking taxes

[airborne]

It would die on President Trump’s desk.

A death well deserved!

[Salman]

So? Will Donald Trump’s second term be just another speedbump on the road to Hell, like his first term?

At last someone with commonsense writes a post.

Hispanic names? If you remember back in the 1960's the names of the numbers of Hispanic groups who made so many demands against the Nation. Demanding restorations of their rights against the U.S..

It appears that they are still around. As a matter of effect they have have managed to infiltrate our state and federal political positions, city councils and school systems. They never disappeared, just changed their tactics.

“dem position has always been complete amnesty” Only when the R’s are in charge. Funny how they never try it when they have both house and the WH. R’s are stupid.
