So you are for amnesty?

I kind of like the idea of extending some sort of permanent residency status as the poster above suggested. If they want citizenship, they have to leave and come back in according to law.

What I'm not willing to do is ignore the fact that there are 12 million people here illegally and pretend like they can't be here. They can be, and they are. We have to face that reality before we can come up with a solution.
