All depends on the details in immigration reform. It is coming, like or not. The devil is in the details. If there is blanket amnesty and a fast track to citizenship, it will be a no-go for me. OTOH if it involves separating those who work hard and are carrying their share of burden from the free loaders, it is a good thing.

Boy, do you have your head in the sand.

Any amnesty, of any magnitude will overwhelm the electorate with millions of undocumented Democrats. People who have been raised to depend on the Government for handouts.

Voters whose natural political party, as a result, will be the Democrats.

If you want to hand the Democrats a perpetual electoral advantage, keep supporting Amnesty in any form.

Besides being immoral, and rewarding lawbreakers, it's political suicide.

I would prefer no amnesty of any kind...especially of the type granted by pres. Reagan. If I was the president, I would round up every illegal and deport them within 30 days.

There is not a single sovereign country in the world as lax on illegal immigration as the United States. My kid is currently is Spain on a English teaching job for 8 months duration. They require her to report to local immigration or police every few months and of any address change. They required her to give them police record from her city of residence in US with finger prints! I checked into emigrating to New Zealand recently. They require all immigrants to pass English proficiency test before granting a long term visa. And NZ wants you to have a minimum net worth of a million dollars or demonstrable expertise in a field needed in their country.

However as an incorrigible realist, as opposed to wishful thinking dreamer, I know immigration reform legislation is coming to the US. The president, senate, house democrats and lots of RINO’s in House we can not win against with barely half of the House. So I am fighting for the right type of amnesty. That is all that is possible based on reality on the ground.

Losing elections has it’s consequences. Losers in elections become irrelevant. Ask Mitt, Mourdock, Akin, Angle, O’Donnell, Cuccinelli, Joe Miller, Alan West, Doug Hoffman etc what power they have to stop ANY undesirable legislation.
