THAT is going to be the message that's sent out to the world if this bill passes. We are going to have at least 12,000,000 foreign residents in our country that knowingly and willingly chose to ignore our immigration laws and were rewarded for it. Our laws obviously mean nothing to these individuals. In fact, if they can get away with flouting our immigration laws, what other laws will they choose to break? These are not individuals that America should want as citizens or even as legal alien residents.
