If amnesty is given to all the criminals who broke the law by coming here illegally, should those who took the time and money to come to America legally be reimbursed by the government? Why should legals have to pay anything to be citizens if illegals get a free pass?

Retailers OFTEN give you the difference if something you buy goes on sale ANYWHERE. This ranges from 30 days to 1 year.

No, they should sue the criminals who broke the law by coming here illegally! No more hand outs.

I think any discussion of amnesty is pure horsecrap. It's been 20 years since the last one, the guy that helped promote that has stood up himself and said 'no more'.
The real problem here is that Mexico and other countries have more people than they can currently support/employ/etc. What are we supposed to do about that? Hand over the keys? Um, let me think about it....um, 'no'.
The merit of the border fence is that it will basically force Mexico to deal with its' own issues for a while, and stop trying to use the United States as an 'easy out'.
I think the days when we could afford to do business that way are basically gone. A lot of things are changing in the world, not necessarily for the better. 'Move to the United States' isn't the universal panacea some people seem to think it is. The globalization fans out there think it's pretty cool, but I'm not buying it. When our immigration policy becomes 'stand aside, and watch the bums' rush', I think there's been a fundamental
failure to provide even marginal stewardship over the entire process.
I'd be really interested to hear anything anyone in Congress or anywhere else has to say on recommendations on how americans are supposed to handle this entire mess. There's been a real leadership gap on the issue in general, and that's kind of the point/problem, here. Things can't continue as they have, we need much better policy on this, else face the wholesale involuntary restructuring of our cities, communities, and so forth to best fit the needs of the pro-globalism crowd.
Meanwhile, americans get marginalized for the benefit of...who, exactly? Where's OUR representation in all of this?
I think it's movie material, really...call it 'while you were working'...
I say they can take their social engineering and go 'restructure' Mexico. If they're so all-fired concerned with Mexico, then the big-dollar investors and so forth can go there and wreak their socioeconomic havoc, 39% interest credit cards, interest-only mortgages, and so forth.
What we have now has been the work of decades. With democrats in Congress, hopefully we'll start seeing some healthy reforms that'll redirect this entire brouhaha someplace else.

Well I do. Means the law is useless, citizenship is a joke and they should get their money back. Those who came legally atleast wanted to be citizens for real and were willing to do it the right way. I also think all citizens who committed a crime that was done in order to feed their family or did it out of poverty should be released and given a clean record. Same as anyone that has any past misdemenor charges on their background check. Why should they have past mistakes haunt them for the rest of their lives while these guys get a free ride and no black mark on their record?

If I buy something and later it goes on sale--I don't get my money back.
This concept of IOU for anything in the past doesn't cut the mustard with me.
Same applies to past hurts -how far back do people think we should go, I wonder. It seems they only want to go as far as it benefits them.
So I say if that happens--NO. Life is that way. One of the harsh realities. We have our faces in front to move forward not backward.
Add on--they don't if I got it a year or longer ago
