"SqwirlGirl".....I admire your powers of observation, you catch on quickly!

Answer 1

Bad idea.Once they are allowed in they won't leave.
Send the illegals back and don't let any more in.This is an invasion that the goverment is failing to protect us from.Big business wants them here to be slave laborers at low pay and without benefits.
Don't listen when they tell you Americans won't do the job.If they could GET the job instead of illegals,they would.And when they say it's too many to send back,send them back the same way they got here.One at a time!
Stop feeling sorry for lawbreakers who want to take over and change us to suit them!

Answer 2

First of all ; there is a "guest worker program", but they are treated no better than illegals "legally...Second ; I'm a 48 y/o single father of a 2 y/o son & I can't get a job that pays $20,000 or more a year because most are already taken by illegal & the younger people...Take a look at any Unemployment line & think about all of us older people, who are now forced to compete for lesser paying jobs to survive & support our families because the Middle Class jobs are being outsourced to other countries and I come from the last era prior to computers, so my skills are with my hands...The problem in America is our jobs are going to everyone else, everywhere else, but to Americans living in America...Before we support others, we need to support ourselves...

Answer 3

The customer worker application is merely yet another variety of amnesty,the customer worker application is being manipulated by potential of politican's as a decrease back door concepts-set to finished amnesty. we ought to take them out of the approach and placed it on the pollas a referendum,I doubt that would incredibly ensue because of the fact 75percentof the persons may be for it, the politicans won't in any respect permit it ensue. No the customer worker application won't do something to remedy the unlawful concern.

Answer 4

to be realistic i agree because they came here illegally they broke the law and they cant have everything they want out of our system.we cant round up 12 million illegal immigrants and send them all home but the answer too is if the will leave after the time is up.

Answer 5

A1........ that would be like cake without the frosting.....who likes that.....Not me! Daddy always says that "a good honest days work is anybodys reward".....then he laughs when I pout and say "Daddy... But I don't like to work".....anyway.......where are the rewards in the package. There is no secret decoder ring or anything in this box of cereal. OHHHHHH....don't you love cereal...I don't eat it too much....makes me break out.

A1.....I am glad you thought of the idea.....you are not a grubby boy......just doesn't make any sense to me.

Answer 6

Dream, dream, dream, uh uh uh dream, dream, dream, USA, lost a lot, sorry can,t do nothing from here only dream.
sgldadplus1 I see a lot a older chineses come here and have a lot a benefits from our goverment. And nothing for our olders.

Answer 7

We would have to assume that these people are honest and would abide by the rules for their own good. I don't believe that we can assume that since they ALL have already broken our laws.

Answer 8

Here are comments that I recieved from my state senator. Take into account that my comments to him were no amnesty period. Send all of them home, and once they are gone, let them apply for a guest worker card. anybody else have responses from their representatives or are you all just blowing smoke about participating in the political process?

Thank you for contacting me with your opposition to the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act. I appreciate hearing from you and would like to respond to your concerns.

As you know, on May 25, 2006, I joined 61 of my colleagues in passing the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 (S. 2611). This legislation combines strong border control legislation, with a realistic workplace enforcement mechanism, and a way to bring 11 million people out of the shadows.

Like you, I agree that we must fully secure our borders. S. 2611 provides significant resources to do this. It provides for the training and hiring of 15,000 additional border patrol agents over the next six years, places 6,000 National Guard troops on our border with Mexico, uses 370 miles of double- and triple- layer fencing and 500 miles of vehicle barriers on our southern border in conjunction with unmanned aerial and land vehicles to report and halt the flow of illegal aliens crossing our border. These measures will significantly improve our national security.

Please be assured that I strongly support our President and his efforts to secure our borders. This is a critical component of our national security, and I intend to work with my colleagues to secure the passage of a law that fixes our porous borders and broken immigration system.

Delaying comprehensive reform does a disservice to America. We must protect the border, but we must also provides for the economic needs of this nation and contend with the 11 million already living here illegally. It is my firm belief that addressing border security while doing nothing to address those already living here illegally would amount to de facto amnesty for 11 million people.

It is in the best national security interest of the United States to learn the identity of these individuals who are living in our country unrecognized by our government. This legislation would separate the current illegal immigrant population into three categories. The first group consists of illegals that have entered the United States since January 2004. S. 2611 would require this group to leave the country. Individuals who have been here more than two years but less than five would be required to leave the country but would be able to return immediately as new temporary workers. It would take them at least six years to qualify for a green card, and the applicant must prove he or she was working during the entire time. Long term workers who have been in the country for more than five years would have the option to earn a green card by registering with the government, undergoing criminal and national security background checks, paying a $2000 fine along with back taxes, then learning English, and working for six years while they wait their turn behind the current green card applicants, which will be at least an eleven year wait.

American employers also need to take responsibility when determining the immigration status of individuals they hire. Too often illegal immigrants attempt to enter the United States chasing employment from unscrupulous employers who accept fraudulent citizenship documents. This hurts both American workers and immigrants whose sole aim is to work hard and get ahead. S. 2611 would implement a simple, fool-proof, and mandatory mechanism for all employers to check the legal status of new hires, and we must penalize employers that continue to hire illegal employees.

This legislation is now subject to a joint House and Senate conference committee to reconcile the differences between the Senate- passed S. 2611 and the House- passed Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 (H.R. 4437). Please know that as we continue to work on this difficult issue I will remain mindful of your concerns.
