It looks as if congress is going to give amnesty to 12 million illegals in the US, have we lost the fight?

Question

Regardless of whether you agree to what amnesty is or isn't, allowing these illegal aliens to stay is amnesty (an act of forgiveness for past offenses, esp. to a class of persons as a whole; a forgetting or overlooking of any past offense)
in itself.

Answer 1

nope, you are wrong.

illegal immigration has joined the ranks of issues that are so dividing that we can be assured that professional politicians on both sides will give impassioned speeches and rail against it in the strongest terms - and then not do a thing about it.

just like abortion, which has been used by both sides now for over 30 years, but mysteriously no one has ever tried to just fix.

it's time to face the sad facts that the average american is generally smarter and of a higher moral fibre than those who purport to lead us...

Answer 2

We haven't lost yet. The Senate and the House may not be able to reach a compromise, as happened last year. Because of our efforts, Sen. Reid has postponed bringing a bill up for debate until Monday. Many republicans and a few democrats in the House will not vote for an amnesty bill.

Answer 3

They did it in 1986,and this is the outcome of it.Fifteen years later,the same problem will exist in triple fold.As much as we fuss and fight,we must know the politicians could give two ***** about what the American public wants.

Answer 4

no
Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

Answer 5

It looks like it would take 8 to 13 years. We can vote a lot of people out of office in that time, if we don't like whatever they pass.

Answer 6

Its just reinforcing the precedent set back in 1986. In another 10 years, there will be millions more, demanding amnesty again, and they will have an even stronger argument, since it'll have been done twice in the past.

Answer 7
