"I expect to play a role in the national effort for comprehensive reform," Brown said in a statement released by his office Thursday. "I'll be directing some efforts on national reform."

Sorta interesting in a way. States granting US citizenship ? Must be thinking of secceeding Kaliforny and bringing it back to a being an independent Republic. I don’t think BO would go for that much. But it would relieve bailing them out by the rest of US.
Forgot to add...
When is the treatment of American citizens in Mexico and their rights vs US treatment of Mexicans going to be an issue when we discuss amnesty ?
Ever hear of reciprocal aggrements ? These are arranged to protect the rights of American citizens working or living in other countries.
Why is it when it comes to citizens of other countries we are required to offer them the same privledges as we do to US citizens? But when it comes to US citizens who get in trouble or attempt to do business in other countries they do not get the same treatment their citizens get.
Americans can’t own coast land in Mexico. And get no title to it elsewhere. If they run out of cash they’ll get unceremoniously sent back or put in jail untill some relative comes up with the “fresh”. That’s just for starters as for granting them voting privledges yea let’s give Mexican citizens that right when American citizens vote in their elections .
Citizenship should include some sort of loyalty equation or test to assert that a person is coming here to actually become a productive American citizen.
Any politician who uses the word “comprehensive” should be thrown in a vat of boiling hot tar, rolled in feathers, tied to a rail and tossed into the sea.
And that’s just for starters.
The pathway forms at the BACK of the legal immigration line.
