Is there any good reason why people who have been illegally in this country for some period of time should be eligible for any visa or other status that is not available to those who have applied to immigrate legally but didn't sneak in?
Is there any good reason why the government harasses those seeking to immigrate legally and makes them wait years, while illegals can come here immediately?
Is there any reason to believe that immigration needs could not be met by those seeking to immigrate legally if the government would actually let those people come in? Is there any reason to believe that such people are not of at least as good character as those who presently sneak in?
Is there any reason to believe that rewarding criminal behavior will not result in more criminal behavior?
We know the problems, they aren`t a secret. The question is what to do and how are we going to get Congress to agree? (they authorize and fund) Until that happens, we are back to the Tancredo Plan, NOTHING.
