I don’t care if you support “the cause” or not. I’ve never asked anyone to agree with me. I have my opinion and everyone else has there own. I am pro-amnesty because I have been affected by it personally, in a very positive way. If you don’t support “the cause” or if you don’t agree with me… that’s your right and, again, I don’t care.

I'm going to be watching this one for answers,great question.As Ive often said most pro supporters have a vested interest in the illegal,thru a relationship or other binding situation.Its an emotional issue to them,not of it being legal or illegal.I cant say I would not do the same thing in their place.But because it is an emotion based loyalty it can be blind to the problems and repercussions it can cause to others or to the country they so desperately wish to come to.
If this nation was just like Mexico would you immigrate here? If it had the same problems ,do you think it would be a solution to your problems? No it wouldn't ,and most likely you would stay home in your own country.But that being said,why then do you want the USA to become like Mexico.Why do you not want to assimilate as millions of other immigrants ,both legal and illegal,have already done.
Why is it your wish to make all of America into a Mexico?
When you desecrate this nations flag and call all those that offer any resistance to this "take over"of the US,all kinds of disrespectful names,then holler RACIST.I know the ignorant things some post on here from both sides,but that doesn't make it right.Maybe if you didn't do all of theses things people might be more open to hearing your issues and responding in kind.....

In America, the public policy and the national interest come first. Laws are made only to further those policies and interests. There is nothing magical about the laws themselves.
Amnesty is good public policy only because the alternative of rounding 'them' up would cause undue public unrest. Also, it is in our national interest to enlarge our population to better protect our position as top world power. Failure to grow will hasten our falling behind rapidly growing China. These realities should trump existing laws and spur new more progressive laws.

We can't reasonabley deport 11-20 million illegals.
We need their cheap labor - they've been here for many decades doing this work-- this is not a new problem.
But it should not be pure amnesty-- in fact, don't even call it amnesty. They need to apply to stay, they need to pay fines or other penalty and they don't get to become citizens ever or for a long time (e.g. 10 years). For that, they get to stay, pay taxes etc.
And, at the fed level, laws put in place to severly penalize employers + illegals get NO public benefits (other than pure emergency stuff). They must prove they are here legally to get anything (e.g. go to school, medical, license, etc.)

Its like telling a person to sing a song without making any sound and opening mouth. Of course human rights is the basis of what amnesty is doing. Every person on earth has a right to life and personal liberty. The life does not mean mere existence but a life with dignity and basic human amenities.
No one can take any-body's life. If a person commits a murder why should we murder him. This is just an eye for an eye theory, which is wrong. How are we different from that murderer if we are also killing him.
The emphasis must be on the restitution of the criminal and not on the killing of the criminal.
