There is only one form of “amnesty” I would go along with.

If the illegal goes home and gets in line behind everyone already waiting to come in the legal way, then I’ll forgive them for having come in illegally the first time.

I’d even be willing to give them a six month time limit to leave. After that time, if we find them here, they should be deported and BARRED FOREVER from any possibility of living here.

I know ... I know ... too generous. But I’m a “compassionate conservative.”

Personally, I disagree.

These “MAGGOTS” aren’t WORTHY of ANYTHING!!!

“They” have ALREADY demonstrated a healthy DISREGARD for OUR PRINCIPLES AND WAY OF LIFE.......

TO HELL WITH THEM!!

CALL “them” for what they are (PARASITES) and let it go at that.

I suspect we agree on most aspects of immigration reform... but, I completely disagree with you about the concept of sending them all back. You obviously have not spent much time in Texas or California. If you send them ALL BACK, the economies in certain areas will, all but, collapse...as 40-50% of the population dissappears

For me... I want to KNOW who is here. I don’t care if they are/were illegal, have been here 10 years and have jobs... I want to know WHO they are. For those here, give them a “legal” status... that is NOT citizenship. Let them join the queue for citizenship....if they keep a job, learn the language, and pass a U.S. history test..... in the same time as people NOT here.

But FIRST, we must stop the flow of new illegal immigrants. To do this, we MUST do a few, relatively simple things:

1) Establish a national verification of citizenship or legal working status that a business (or landlord) can use to verify status.

2) CRACK DOWN on businesses who hire illegals not verified by the system in #1, and

3) Build the freaking fence in areas where agents can’t patrol on a constant basis.

Do these things... and, I become very lenient with the folks still here.

I’m not stop all social benefits, arrest anyone that hires one and sock the with the maximum penalty, build the wall, and make it so miserable for the illegals that they either starve to death or go back where they came from.

Compasonage conservative is Bush’s way of saying i’m a socialist.

Good idea. It's infuriating hearing these people claiming that this bill isn't amnesty despite blatantly rewarding people for their criminal behavior (and therefore punishing law-abiding visa applicants while they're at it). I'm generally in favor of expanding our legal immigration, but only to those who show some interest in respecting U.S. law.

But Bush & Co. think I'm just a racist.
