I don't care if they snuck across the border or not. I want to know who is here, where they are and what they are doing. I'll swallow my indignation for the bigger win.
OK, you've still not played.
When Illegals are Amnestied, they count against our immigration caps. That means that law-abiding immigrant candidates are displaced by every Amestied Illegal.
Do you approve of an Amnesty that rewards lawbreakers at the expense of would-be immigrants who want to play by our rules?
Tooth, I honestly see no other choice. Clinton and his vote stealers opened the spigot. What's done is done. The KEY is removing the parasite element from our taxpayer teat.
If your line in the sand is the unacceptable concept of an amnesty ... we're hopelessly adrift for discourse. Amnesty makes everying legal. It's a tool to break up the logjam. It's worth it.
If you can show me a sane scheme to arrest, process and deport 3-5 million illegal foreigners .... I'll lend an ear. I see no such reality.
Saberman, my only priority is as follows: 1. Keep our Americans alive. 2.)Process and identify all the invisible people skipping around America todday! How? Entice the hidden millions to show themselves and be counted and vetted for pain with a trustworthy amnesty. Bring everyone into the community but seize their entitlements! If bad-faithed local counties or States oppose the program, Marine Inspector can stand on the sidewalk outside LaRaza, within the queues at the County Welfare Agency, CALTRAN center or that check cashing place that is SO damn convenient for the newbees.
Amnesty is a fait accompi, IMO, friend. Time to move forward from that eventuality.
