re: Why are you where you are on immigration

On top of that, every individual must personally go and admit they entered or stayed within the country illegally. This will occur within a certain time frame. If they miss the time frame, they are not permitted entry.

This is essentially what amnesty would look like.

For the record, I agree with most everyone here regarding illegal immigration, except this massive wall that will become a boondoggle, and booting "every single one of them" out.

I know illegals out here that have businesses via fake SSNs, live in nice homes, etc. They aren't living off of my dime, but they sure as shite aren't doing it right.

However, booting them out seems pointless if they have created a nice income source. Fine the shite out of them, sure, but sending them back isn't the best course of action.

I'd imagine these folks I'm talking about would get in line pretty quickly if it was offered.

As far as assimilation goes, their kids are about as American as it gets. First gen never really assimilates, second gen does. If you're concerned about votes, push the GOP to appeal to the second gen types.
