If illegals are ALREADY here and working the current system, why should they bother with jumping through hoops to make themselves a "legal" migrant worker? There is no incentive without the threat of ILLEGALS being sent BACK to where they came from.
Kick up the numbers for legal immigration. Streamline the process. What ever we can do and still control the entry process. But to offer a covert AMNESTY will do nothing to deter further unLawful behavior.
Cool the rhetoric; you haven't a clue about who my 'heroes' are, and I can assure you they would not associate with you.
America already takes in a roughly 1 million legal immigrants a year, a majority of which comes from the 3rd World. More by far than any other country.
Legal immigration should be scaled back to pre-1966 levels and be changed to admitting only the most skilled, educated immigrants.
It's plainly evident with the breakdown of the assimilation process that America cannot absorb such high rates of legal and illegal immigration without losing its sovereignty, culture and National identity. Much has been lost already. It’s pure insanity.
