A rose by any other name is still a rose. Amnesty by any other name is still amnesty.

Given “earned citizenship” will result in their bringing in their parents and children. Their parents who have not paid into social security will be illegible for SSI and full medicaid resulting in millions more people and billions of dollars in benefits that further strain the system and tax payers.

There will still be felons and criminals in the shadows and we will not know who they are until they are caught in a criminal act. Them we have to pay for their court process and prison.

How are they going to round up and send those millions back to Mexico Who have been here less than 2 years? They will not leave on their own, so it just will not be done. There will be fraud in how long they have been here.

How are they going g to know how much back taxes is due when they have used false documents and there is no record.

To have to work and learn English? They came here to work and should already, after 5 years, learned English.

With over 12 million already here why is a guest worker’s program needed every year? They are not doing the work that American will not do. They are and will continue to take jobs from Americans. How many of the 12 millions are in the fields? None, because that is way they have to be replaced each year.

This is only making more laws that will not be enforced to take the place of those already in existence not enforced.

Protesters are wasting their time if they think they re going to be given instant amnesty. They also want to be able to vote while waiting to become legal, which will not happen.

I think they should all be deported and replaced with those already in line to come here legally. Over a period of time they can be deported at the expense of their assets. But if businesses are fined and jailed for hiring Illegals, there will be no jobs keeping them here and they will have to go home and maybe get there own country to better their working conditions. Anchors babies have duel citizenship because their parents are Mexican citizens and should be able to go where ever they parents go.

They will keep coming if they know they can work in this country while in line for 11 years and then given amnesty. Why should they get in line in their own country with no work, when they can get in line here and work and receive all other benefits. What they face here waiting to become legal is nothing compared what they would face waiting in line in there own country. “Earned citizenship” will be easy for them.

Fences, military, land mines, minute men, border guards or even give the job to united arab emirate. By any means necessary to close the border now and to hell with Fox. People will not then be dying in the desert.

The work that Illegals are doing is not for the benefit of Americans, but to support their needs. Their needs for supplies (housing, schools, medical, food, etc) demands workers to meet those needs. If they were not here the demand for more supplies would cease.
The need did not exist before there were 12 million Illegals here. How hard is that to comprehend. The more Illegals that come the more that is needed for their existence.

The farmers are growing more food to meet the needs of the 12 millions. The need of more workers to process that food, resulting in more money for them and other businesses. This does not benefit Americans but is a liability because they are low wages earners and need our social services.
