" Republicans should offer conditional amnesty to Mexican illegal immigrants. Here?s the deal: If you want to stay in the United States, you must enroll in a good-citizen program. The immigrant has to agree to become functionally literate in English within two years, work for six of the next eight quarters and pay taxes to FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) for each of these quarters ? no off-the-books work ? and avoid arrest for 24 months.

"At the end of the two-year period, those who meet the requirements would become citizens in good standing, eligible to vote and participate in civic life. Those who refuse to enroll or who fail the meet the requirements would face deportation. "

Now your talkin'! I read this and agreed before I saw who proposed it.

Message to White House: Listen to Dick Morris' proposal and act on it immediately. Do the right thing the right way.

We have 6%+ unemployment, WHY are you advocating more immigrants? These people will NEVER vote Republican, much vote for conservatives. They'll vote for whoever provides their benefits.

So, you support blindly privileging illegals ahead of legals who have to wait six years?

Read through this. It's propaganda being flagpoled to see if it will fly. It's from the Globalist-mentality financiers who benefit. Not you. You don't benefit one iota. Follow the money. First question: who's paying Morris for this?

BTW, watch out for more of it to come. A demonization of Tancredo may be in the works. Demonize a fellow Republican? Sure, why not. It's about the money, not the people. I bet we see a flurry of "conservative" "grassroots" groups fronting for the money espousing this malarky. I'd bet a lot. They're already working on the trucking industry, trying to depress wages of Americans by giving illegals commercial privileges. Know any truckers? Better warn them they soon won't be able to support a family.
