Tell them they'll get no gubment benefits and never be allowed to vote and see how many still want to come.

They basically have to be able to qualify for merit visa to get citizenship...

Pathway to citizenship? It always comes down to amnesty, doesn't it?

Pathway to citizenship should come with stipulation that they have no voting rights

It’s a good attempt at compromise. Those who reject it don’t realize that it will always take some compromise as we’ll never be completely rid of establishment Republican cucks. If we can get most of what we want, I say go for it.

ends family separation,


Do you understand how enforcing criminal law works? Illegal immigration is a crime just like others. If someone is arrested and retained for prosecution for assault he/ is put in jail. If he/she cannot post bail or, as in the cases for illegal immigrants, a flight risk, the are kept in detention AND ARE SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES. So these procedures of separating the innocent from the accused is normal criminal practice procedure. It is not especially targeted to illegals. And by changing that status will give these rights that American citizens DO NOT HAVE.

So I am totally against treating illegals better than Americans and I hope Trump vetoes this if passed.

So...they have to go back to home country?

 limits chain


Apparently not.

Only if it is DOUBLE the regular time for someone who played by the rules, and requires 100% payment of all back taxes (federal, state and ss/fica).

And, all of it is revoked first arrest for ANYTHING.

Give this to citizens that commit crimes.

If it isn't to the back of the line then no thanks.

Give them work visas then work out the rest. I'm not sure why this has to be so complicated.

I do, it's the government.

If it’s merit based immigration then isn’t it merit based citizenship? Personally I would like there to be some requirements to earn it (pay a tax, work for so long, etc) to as if it's a commodity, while showing their value, and reinforcing productive behaviors.

Exactly. Let them earn it, anyone who wants it, and we can benefit as well.

Sounds like a garbage deal to me.

quote:

would disobey President Trump’s orders on immigration, in which he has demanded an end to the Diversity Visa Lottery, chain migration, and full funding for a border wall.


quote:

would only end two categories of chain migration, ending the citizens’ ability to import their married adult children and their brothers and sisters.


quote:

But, the two larger chain migration categories — in which citizens can bring their parents and unmarried adult children to the U.S. — would be kept intact, against Trump’s orders.


quote:

Meanwhile, while the Diversity Visa Lottery would be ended by the amnesty plan, it would reallocate the visas handed out under the program to employers so they can import more foreign workers to compete against America’s working and middle class.

Depends on the details of the "pathway", jn. If criminal record is a disqualifier and reason for deportation - and how could it not be in an honest Bill - then it may be worth looking into.

Oh, and NO voting rights for 20 years, as a punishment for original criminality.

Trump is giving Fatboy a pass, for a rock solid promise of de-nuking. Could be the same with Illegals. If Trump okays the Deal, many pragmatic Republicans will hold fast.

I'm not against honest, productive, responsible and Constitution-believing Immigrants coming into this Country. If they prove it, good enough. Slackers, Commies and Gangstas go back over the Wall.
