I say give them a path to citizenship (back of the line) with the condition that anyone who has come here illegally can never vote, any children born here to illegals can never vote either.
I got a better idea. Send them home. Allowing them to stay is a slap in the face to every legal immigrant in this nation, not to mention the millions of people who were denied entry (including friends of our family and my brother's mother in law) and didn't break the law to come into this country.
Are you for amnesty? If so, why?
No, I'm for shipping all illegals to the southernmost tip of Mexico. Let them first cross their own country before attempting to get into our again.
I'm also for severely restricting immigration to friendly countries. We don't need Pakistanis, Saudis, etc. getting great educations here, then going back with that knowledge to their countries to figure out how best to **** us.
The bolded -- I agree with both of you but the reality is that will never, ever happen. It if was going to happen it would have. D.C. dicky doos around this issue, grants mass amnesty without securing the border properly, business hire illegals and few face any consequences, and on and on.
I've thought about this a lot over the past year or so and as much as I'd rather boot them it's time to get real. If they are granted a path to citizenship (back of the line, fines, whatever) but never, ever have the right to vote (that includes any children born here while the parents are illegal, those kids will never have the right to vote) that at least keeps illegals from favoring one side or the other once they do become legal. That vote is what the pols seek; don't give it to them. They are here anyway, they are using our resources anyway, making them legal they will at least be paying into the system.
Why haven't they been booted? Do you honestly think they ever will be booted?
D.C. crowd says no way, Jose.
I guess you scrolled right past post #90!


Maybe it's because their parents don't have status. Anyway good luck with that, as in it will never happen. Because you don't get it, our influence on this issue and everything else is mother may I. It would be nice to lock down the boarder, but as soon as anyone says, come to the table, you scream OPEN BOARDER, OPEN BOARDER, get a freakin grip. The boarder is open because reps can't win an election, and won't as long as they keep talking about round ups. So sit back and watch Obama make the important decisions because the boarders are open, and soon even the states won't be able to overcome the changing electorate. Regarding the immigrants that do so legally, they have peace of mind and they are citizens.
