“Earned citizenship” is a path to amnesty on matter what you call it.
“$2,000" is cheaply bought amnesty.
“Work”is a reward.they came her to work.
Pay “back taxes” for 2 out of 5 years? Any Americans would like to pay taxes 2 out of 5 yrs.”
“Felon or 3 misdemeanors”? How do you send them and millions back to their country and those who have been here less than 5 years.How do you get criminals out of the prisons. Close the border take them out of our prisons and send them home by the bus loads.
Out of the “shadows” they are not and never have been “in the shadows” they work, pay taxes with stolen or false social security cards. They live, go to school and buy houses and cars here.
Illegals left jobs, homes and families in Mexico and came here. No one forced them here. There would be no reason for them to stay here if there were no jobs for them. They are Mexico’s problem and not ours. We have our own problem with the poor, homeless and mentally ill. They can leave here and go back to Mexico they same way they came. “Anchor babies” is not excuse for them to stay. If that were the case they all have “anchor babies” because they can use them to stay. They should have duel citizenship.
20million illegals do not work the fields, wash dishes, mow lawns and care for our homes and children. They are taking jobs from Americans. They are working here to supply their own need for food, housing, etc. Americans have always provided for themselves. The more that come means more that is needed. The farmer has to grow more food, more houses has to be built, etc. More food the farmer grows, the more money her makes with the help of our government. This do not benefit the American people because we do not live in all the houses that are built and do not eat all the food that is produced. There are unskilled Americans and they do the work that illegals do and it is insulting for anyone to say they won’t. 27% of the workers in the fields are Americans.
