No matter how you finesse it, it's amnesty and citizenship for illegal aliens. No thanks.

...but not unbridled amnesty,” Russo wrote. “This should include penalties, background checks to root out criminals, and the requirement that they learn English, understand the Constitution and be committed to our basic freedoms.”

In a sane world. A common sense world would start with closing the borders, shutting off the welfare spigot and penalizing employers who hire the illegal invaders. But ANY immigration bill will be stripped in conference and be stuffed with blanket amnesty.

Immigration Overhaul = Enforce it

[mosesdapoet]

This whole idea devalues citizenship in the United States and is driven by a bunch of what the late Col Robert McCormick of the Chicago Tribune would call “One Worlders”. There is never any mention of an American citizens rights in foreign countries particularly Mexico.

This regime can’t even protect its ambassadors never mind sticking up for Americans operating in foreign countries by applying the same restrictions to foreigners from those countries put on Americans. With what’s known as reciprocity to foreigners from those countries who are operating here worse yet illegally.

The US DOES need immigration reform. Unfortunately, "Reform" now means "Amnesty" to most people on both sides.

Appears Russo fell for Leftist sources tricks, and has now soiled the credibility of the TEA Party movement by announcing what they advocate.

Reform is BS. We have laws that work if enforced.

After this 11 million become Democrat Party supporters and voters, what will we do with the next 11 million?

Interestingly, many of the next wave might be anti-communists fleeing from communist governments in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and of course, Venezuela.

Don’t think that Obama and Holder will let this group in.

the 11 million people who are here illegally obey the law, pay taxes and come out of the shadows.

I stopped reading right here because if this person is stupid enough to think there are 11 million illegal alien criminals in the US instead of 40 million then nothing they have to say is useful or truthful.

This is why the TEA Party isn’t a party at all, but a way of thinking about America and American ideals.

[Tzimisce]

Well conservatives, you sat on your collective asses being the smartest people in the room.

Now it’s coming back to bite you.

If I were a member of the American left, I’d be peeing in all your faces too.

[ckilmer]

That means no special pathways to citizenship that allow undocumented immigrants to cut in line, Russo cautioned, but rather some reasonable procedures that require “the 11 million people who are here illegally obey the law, pay taxes and come out of the shadows.
...............
what a hopeless nitwit this guy is.

what he’s suggesting is a 3/5ths compromise.

15 minutes after such a law were passed — the homosexual nazis and the illegals would be demanding that the illegals be given full citizenship.

Importing poor people who support big government, while pushing more Americans out of employment and onto welfare is a recipe for a socialist majority. Conservatives and Libertarians for Socialism aren’t ideologues. They are mentally ill.

Another damned sell out...who can we trust?
