"A TEMPORARY guest worker program is one thing, eg Kyl/Cornyn,"
Six years isn't temporary! The anchor babies will make sure of that.
I don't care if it's the equivalent of a traffic ticket so long as we get them OUT of here.
I'm all for ending birthright citizenship.
Are you serious? They're criminals just by being here illegally. I'd like to see their employers and enablers end up in jail and seriously fined, and the money used for one-way trips home.
I don't think my views are atypical of the majority of voters, who are getting pretty feisty about expressing views.
Uh, if millions of US citizens crossed illegally into Mexico and leeched off their economy, would we be guilty of a misdemeanor? Would we be running around loose? Would Mexico educate, feed, house, provide health care, etc.? Why not?
There is no certainty that there will be a final version.
The articles on recent polling data that have been posted here indicate a shift of public opinion from pub to dem. If this is accurate, the dems would be less willing to negotiate. The same thing happened in 04 when the dems saw that Bush's re-election was not certain, they walked away from the table and it was only after Bush was re-elected that Kennedy and McCain restarted their negotiation.
The same situation exists now in congressional elections except that the dems have the "harsh republican house bill" to use as a club to sway and motivate the hispanic voter.

Yes, I am serious - of course they are here illegally, but that could be changed again just like Reagan did in 1986 - if they are breaking no other laws, I see no reason to target them over other more important priorities. That's exactly what LAPD came to realize as well - you think Chief Gates was some flaming liberal too?
It is not even in the top 30 for me.
I'm not sure if I am a genius, but thanks.
Those "babies" born here are American citizens, you know that, right? If assimilation works better, we will not all be speaking Spanish and that argument is therefore a slippery slope fallacy.
Perhaps you missed the word "buried" in HuntsvilleTxVeteran's post? Since he is so upset about other illegals, I just want to make sure he knew that advocating violent overthrow of the government was illegal too - he / she never answered my question - but yes, to answer your question, it is illegal to do so (see case cite above, as well as "Treason" in the U.S. Const.).
O.K., as long as you aren't making a threat then . . .
I've mentioned just a few "more important" issues already - abortion takes more innocent human lives every year, for instance. I also agree Reagan was the best - which is why he signed the last Amnesty law on November 6, 1986.
You also missed the word "buried" - as for the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution thereafter specifically outlawed "Treason" (see case cite above too). Regardless of your opinion re: Civil War, that at least answered the question of State succession in the negative, don't you think?
If memory serves me correctly, the reason people accepted that amnesty was the assurances that from that point on, our immigration laws and respect for the borders would be completely enforced!
So why are you posting on this thread if you don't care?
Because, the U.S. economy and rounding up illegals with mass deportations, tearing marriages and families apart with no concern that U.S. citizens are involved, are in my top 30.
I have no recollection of that - I was in high school at the time.
So you don't like immigration laws?
