I would prefer no amnesty of any kind...especially of the type granted by pres. Reagan. If I was the president, I would round up every illegal and deport them within 30 days.

There is not a single sovereign country in the world as lax on illegal immigration as the United States. My kid is currently is Spain on a English teaching job for 8 months duration. They require her to report to local immigration or police every few months and of any address change. They required her to give them police record from her city of residence in US with finger prints! I checked into emigrating to New Zealand recently. They require all immigrants to pass English proficiency test before granting a long term visa. And NZ wants you to have a minimum net worth of a million dollars or demonstrable expertise in a field needed in their country.

However as an incorrigible realist, as opposed to wishful thinking dreamer, I know immigration reform legislation is coming to the US. The president, senate, house democrats and lots of RINO’s in House we can not win against with barely half of the House. So I am fighting for the right type of amnesty. That is all that is possible based on reality on the ground.

Losing elections has it’s consequences. Losers in elections become irrelevant. Ask Mitt, Mourdock, Akin, Angle, O’Donnell, Cuccinelli, Joe Miller, Alan West, Doug Hoffman etc what power they have to stop ANY undesirable legislation.

Not if enough of us continue to say no.

That same statement of yours could have been said from 2006 to now on multiple occasions and has not come to fruition.

BTW, what you call a realist, I call someone who is starting to capitulate.
