When it comes to Amnesty for the 12,000,000 that's twelve Million Illegals in the U.S today, we need to remember, during the Administration of Jimmy Carter we gave Amnesty to 10,000,000 that's ten Million, do we continue to grant Amnesty every couple of Decades, why have a Border at all.
.I don't recall Carter granting Amnesty...do you have a link to that information? President Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million in 1986.
It's not let's be kind and give these people Amnesty, Citizenship, it's hey folks, it costs the American People for every person given Amnesty, that money will be gone it will never be replaced.
Just BTW, please state the military records for last 2 Republican presidents..
He got a deferment for collage.....Same as dodging in my book.
And don't forget about the millions of current American citizens who can't find work because of the illegals filling those jobs. The taxpayer is having to foot that bill too in the form of unemployment, disability, Welfare and Foodstamps.
Just BTW, please state the military records for last 2 Republican presidents.
fair enough.
For the record, they weren't any better than Clinton was, they were all Dodgers as far as I'm concerned.
fair enough
So we bring back the draft and have everyone serve?
.Let's take a step back.
Our legal immigration rate has tripled over the past few decades to about a million a year. There are about 12 million illegals in this country looking to become citizens (including almost 2 million DACA kids). Our priority must be these folks, not millions of Central Americans who are trying to enter the country.
If we must, spend the billions to fight the gangs in Central America. As a country, we are willing accept very few Syrians from a war zone. Why should we accept hundreds of thousands from Central America?
==================================
DO WE WANT TO ACCEPT ASYLUM SEEKERS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA
Should we set up a humane, welcoming process for coming in at the legal bridge crossing, and send a few thousand down to help those who want to come in go through the month's long process? Trump's process is terrible. The problem is real. If we were to have a welcoming process for accepting those who feel unsafe at home because of gangs, the line would be very long indeed.
Do we want to accept asylum seekers into the US from Central America? Are those who decided to pay smugglers somehow different then those who remained in Central America?
How many? 20,000, 1 million, only those with kids?
HOW SHOULD WE HANDLE THOSE WHO COME IN ILLEGALLY?
Should they be treated the same as those who try to enter legally across our border, or from their own countries? They tried to sneak in. They will ask for asylum. Should we then give them a preliminary hearing and set them free to wait for their hearing. This seems a fine process for those who want to come in illegally. If they are caught, they have a certain amount of time in the US. We deport them and they can try again.

Absolutely.... this is a case of where the Monroe doctrine could serve progressive ends. The only problem is that many on the Left are infatuated with isolationism just as much as Republicans. I really think is the case where we will learn all the wrong lessons from Hillary's defeat as doves take over the Democrat party.
When it comes to Amnesty for the 12,000,000 that's twelve Million Illegals in the U.S today, we need to remember, during the Administration of Ronald Ragan we gave Amnesty to 3,000,000 that's three Million, do we continue to grant Amnesty every couple of Decades, why have a Border at all.
What are the Statistics, what are the percentages of the 12,000,000 who are Professional, Collage Educated, Skilled Workers, Uneducated Field Workers.
How many of these 12,000,000 will be given Social Security, Food Stamps, Health Care?
It's not let's be kind and give these people Amnesty, Citizenship, it's hey folks, it costs the American People for every person given Amnesty, that money will be gone it will never be replaced.
My understanding is that, when immigrants become established with a job, they pay back more in tax than they received in welfare benefits....
.
I believe there is a difference between an Immigrant, and an Illegal Alien.
It isn't the Immigrant which causes the problems, they are assimilated into the fabric of the Country, but the Illegal Alien, disrupts the system which is set up to handle the influx of Legal Immigrants, thereby putting an unreasonable burden on that system which now has to provide extra finances for those Illegal Aliens.
Again, that doesn’t seem to be true....
“Millions of undocumented immigrants file tax returns each year, and they are paying taxes for benefits they can’t even use.”
“Those undocumented workers paid taxes for benefits they can’t even use, like Social Security and Medicare. They also aren’t eligible for benefits like the earned income tax credit. But the IRS still expects unauthorized immigrants to file their taxes, and many of them do so.”
Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in federal taxes each year
