“and by making them legal, I don’t mean amnesty and neither does Huckabee. He wants them to go back to the back of the line and then come in legally.”
Maybe you can explain what “going to the back of the line means.” The back of what line? If they go to the back of the legal immigration line, 90% or more of the illegals in the US would never be readmitted, well, unless you plan to increase legal immigration by four or five fold (which is what “comprehensive reform” did in so many words).
We presently let in 1 - 1.5 million legally each year, depending on the number of refugees and other special categories allowed. But, the allotment for Mexico is only a fraction of that annual total, probably one or two hundred thousand per year. If the millions of Mexican illegal aliens go to the back of the line, they’ll never get back in because each nation has a limited allotment each year, and plenty of citizens who’re try to do it legally already in “the line”. The same would go for many nations with illegals in the US.
So, what does “going to the back of the line” mean?
It means they get in the back of the line behind those who have already applied legally.
Huckabee has a plan to speed up the immigration process. It can take many years to become a U.S. citizen and I agree with him that it takes too long. With the electronic age and the way we can do background checks quickly, the ones with criminal records or other undesirable traits should be able to be screened out by this process.
I would go into more detail, but gotta go watch Saturday Night Live ; )
Just read up on Huck’s website. I promise you won’t get cooties if you go there...lol
