You can be an illegal resident of the country, just as long as you are a "legal" resident of Miami-Dade County. Unbelievable!
I've got my own amnesty proposal. Offer anyone in this country illegally a free bus ticket home, and a chance to reapply for a legitimate work visa in six months. Anyone who doesn't leave the country voluntarily will be deported, and forever lose any chance of coming here legally. At the same time, seal the borders. If we have to build an electric fence from California to Florida, then build it.
Deported!!!!!!! How dare you suggest the dreaded D word in reference to our guests. Although that would be following the law, it might hurt their feelings and make some highly sensitive Americans wring their hands and cry. >sarcasm<
