I would be in favor of something along these lines ... once the borders are proved secure, the flow of under wage no tax workers stopped ...
then offer a 90 day period for all illegal aliens to appear and get a temporary secure ID permit to stay, pending a background and health check.
At the end of 90 days everyone who did not show, when caught would be deported, no excuses.
Once the background check etc clears, then grant a 2-3 year work permit. If they had overstayed their visa, out they go. Flunk the background check, deport.
NO path to citizenship, the citizenship line forms where the line is.
Work permits are renewable 3 times or so, then they must go home. There are other existing ways to stay, green cards still work fine, and other forms of visas exist.
This would return the borders to some sibilance of regular order instead of chaos.
So I guess that puts me into no AMNESTY, but working is OK, which we are told is all the illegals want in the first place ...Right?
I'm with you. No citizenship. No access to social safety net entitlement programs. They came here to work.
