Define "some portion". Do you mean zero "I"llegal "A"liens be allowed to ever change their status?
A "large portion" "A"mnesty, no.
But a "slim portion" status adjustment is unavoidable and probably historically constant.

"Some" is between "all" and "none." Those are the three generic quantities in logical equations. This isn't by any stretch a scientific poll, I'm just trying to get a feel for the general sentiments on the matter among members of this forum.

As for "slim portions" getting a status adjustment as a historical constant, I'm not sure that's the case without specific legislation enabling the adjustment. That's what the Section 245(i) issue was about. I belileve right now there's no changing of status for an Illegal, short of getting reclassified as a political refugee, which is really a separate matter.

In simpler fashion...no to a large amnesty.
Interesting thread as usual, thanks.

I see we have the military on the border crowd chiming in. For those of you that want the military on the border, what exactly do you think the military is going to do? How do you think that the military is going to stop illegal immigration? I keep asking this question and nobody answers. If our government wanted to do something about illegal immigration we would not need the military on the border. If our government does not want to do anything about illegal immigration what good is placing the military on the border going to do?
