Real simple.

1. Any 'Dreamer' older than 15 is ineligble for citizenship after 20 years.

2. All children under the age of 15 belonging to the above category are eligible after 10 years.

3. NONE of the family chain migrated are eligible. Ever.

4. Criminal felonies are instant deportation.

The above provisions will take effect 30 days AFTER the wall has been declared complete by the POTUS.

*

This would mean minimum new voters for the Dems for at least 5 election cycles.

"Dreamers" what you said. Image and video hosting by TinyPic The word `pathetic' derives from the Greek word pathos, used by those without anything else in their quiver to try and evoke a feeling of pity, or of sympathy and kindly sorrow or compassion. Pity. It was the weakest of the three modes of persuasions/artistic proofs. Pathetic describes their use of the term. And like "undocumented immigrant" it's become an old, weak, tired spud I'm tired of having to pick out of my teeth. GTHOOMC alien invaders. Kate Steinle had dreams too.

They have to prove that they really were here over a year before they turned 18.

They have to check in with INS every 6 months and one miss is grounds for deportation.

If Trump gives “legal status” to the DACAs, it will take a Federal Judge about 30 seconds to rule that it is unconstitutional to PERMANENTLY deny them citizenship.

...rejected the idea of giving young undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship...

Quite right. That's because these "Dream Stealers" are illegal aliens stealing from every American citizen every minute of every day they are in our country.

Deport all illegal aliens now!

“I do not believe we should be granting a path to citizenship to anybody here illegally,” Cruz told reporters, according to Bloomberg. “Doing so is inconsistent with the promises we made to the man and women who elected us.”

No passive voice there.

Yes, as in:

Swamp = Wetland

Jungle = Rainforest

Why? No one gives money to save a swamp or a jungle, they do to save a wetland or a rainforest.

Cruz can talk about his own promises, but not Donald’s.

He has a position on a topic that is of concern to his constituents and he gets a vote on any bill that Trump would sign. He doesn't need your permission to talk about the issue.

Re: If we exclude them from the census as well I might consider it...

Unfortunately, the Census counts “all persons present” in the USA, which includes illegal persons, if they actually consent to be counted.

Bottom Line - In 2022, high immigration states will pull Congressional Districts and Electoral Votes away from low immigration states.

That will probably mean a net political gain for the Democrats.

Not necessarily if they assign them an immigration status that already exists. They are all citizens of another country- it is not like they have no citizenship, we need to treat them that way. If we decide to deport them that works since they are citizens of another country. There is already an outcry claiming some are just about to finish school, or an internship or something so I imagine some will be allowed to stay at least short term. If that is the case they should be issued student VISAs, work permits, things like that, things already part of our immigration law. I don’t see how a judge could mess with that very easily.

If Congress gives them some special status just for them, I agree- no matter what it says they will end up with citizenship at some point.
