    GOP leaders call for legal status, no path to citizenship (SMOKE AND MIRROR DECEPTION

    By United Press International
    January 31, 2014 6:55 am

    "Rather, these persons could live legally and without fear in the U.S., but only if they were willing to admit their culpability, pass rigorous background checks, pay significant fines and back taxes, develop proficiency in English and American civics, and be able to support themselves and their families (without access to public benefits)."
    GOP leaders call for legal status, no path to citizenship

    U.S. House Republican leaders Thursday endorsed granting legal status but "no special path to citizenship" for undocumented immigrants. At the party's annual retreat in Cambridge, Md., GOP leaders issued a set of principles they said was a first step toward comprehensive immigration law reform, the Hill reported.

    Citing a document it said it received from congressional aides, the Capitol Hill publication reported the principles stipulate it is in the national interest to allow people in the United State illegally to "get right with the law" without fear of deportation.

    "There will be no special path to citizenship for individuals who broke our nation's immigration laws -- that would be unfair to those immigrants who have played by the rules and harmful to promoting the rule of law," the document says.

    "Rather, these persons could live legally and without fear in the U.S., but only if they were willing to admit their culpability, pass rigorous background checks, pay significant fines and back taxes, develop proficiency in English and American civics, and be able to support themselves and their families (without access to public benefits)."

    The document says legal status should not be available for "criminals, gang members and sex offenders" but children brought into the United States illegally "through no fault of their own" by parents would be eligible for legal residence and citizenship, the Hill said.

    U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement Democrats would not agree to everything in the GOP statement of principles but "they leave a real possibility" for bipartisan agreement on reform.

    Bait and switch, do not fall for this deception, once in they will be given voting rights and within months citizenship, this game is also about bringing in more people from India, Muslim countries, changing culture and cheap labor including engineers. All in all spells disaster for the middle class.
    I'm old with many opinions few solutions.

    Ten Ugly Outcomes on Obama's Amnesty for Illegal Alien Children


    1. President Obama’s amnesty will add nearly 2 million workers – possibly more – to the U.S. job market. This is a negligent economic and social policy with over 8% unemployment and half of recent young college graduates unemployed or underemployed.
    2. Lax documentation requirements to prove eligibility. DHS application instructions explicitly state that only copies of documents will be required to meet the eligibility criteria for amnesty including length of presence in the U.S., education, and even identity. Also, illegal aliens will be able to submit any and all documents they deem relevant to prove their eligibility. Virtually any form of documentation will be accepted, from report cards and plane tickets to mere personal correspondence.
    3. The Administration is making this up as they go along. In June, President Obama touted this policy as the “right thing to do” for some of the best and brightest. However, it is clear that the educational, residency and character requirements are becoming increasingly lax as more details about the implementation of the amnesty emerge.
    4. No face-to-face interview required. Most applications will be approved based only on the documentation submitted.
    5. Few safeguards against and limited consequences for filing fraudulent applications or documents. If DHS is actually diligent enough to identify fraud, the new amnesty instructions merely state that the Administration “may” elect to penalize illegal aliens by denying immigration benefits or placing them into removal proceedings. However, since illegal aliens are only required to submit copies – which lack identifiers of authenticity – it is unknown how USCIS employees will be able to identify fraud in the first place.
    6. USCIS turns blind eye to past illegal employment. Illegal aliens may use employment records to show eligibility for amnesty despite the fact illegal aliens are barred from working in the U.S. Past employers of illegal alien applicants are not likely to face prosecution for hiring illegal aliens.
    7. Family of deferred action recipients will also reap the benefits. Application instructions explicitly state that information collected on an illegal alien will not be used against him or her, or their “family members and guardians,” for the purpose of immigration enforcement.
    8. Illegal aliens granted work authorization can obtain Social Security cards. Illegal aliens granted deferred action must apply for employment authorization if they present an “economic necessity.” Once received, DHS work authorization will allow them to apply for a Social Security Number and possibly other benefits like driver’s licenses.
    9. Illegal aliens with a criminal history DO qualify. DHS says only felony and “serious misdemeanor” convictions will make illegal aliens ineligible for amnesty, and even then, convictions won’t necessarily be considered if they are expunged. Additionally, criminal convictions in foreign countries will go undetected and DHS will “exercise discretion” when considering juvenile records.
    10. USCIS doesn’t have a great track record. Earlier this year, that USCIS leadership told employees to rubber-stamp applications for immigration benefits – including work authorization. In leaked documents to the Associated Press, USCIS estimated that it will review 3,000 deferred action and work authorization applications daily, only increasing the pressure to overlook possible fraud and approve benefits quickly.

    If this happens the illegals will still keep using more than one id like they do now. One id will say they are legal and a faux one will be used for benefits. Mothers will still pretend to live alone so the children will still get free school lunches and all of the benefits that go along with free lunches. They'll still go to the emergency room for medical care and not pay their bills as having good credit is not part of the deal. Many will work under the table for cash and then claim dependents they don't have to get a huge tax refund. Etc. Etc. Etc.

    Legalization would be like opening Pandora's box. The only good way to deal with the illegals is to start deporting them NOW!
