I don't give a flip how long the process does or doesn't take--it is the only acceptable solution. ALL OTHERS should be deported. And there should be felony penalties applicable to ANYONE who assists them in either coming here, or living here, illegally.
Then you would condemn us to the status quo. The current process does not work, for us or the would be guest workers/immigrants. You know that we did have a guest worker program once upon a time. It worked pretty well. Big Labor opposed it and it was scrapped, leading to the current mess.
You can bet the current leftists in charge of the national Democratic Party will not settle for a guest worker program, they want a fast track to citizenship and voter status.
More of the same is not going to solve the problem.
