Answer 1

I vote GOP and I fully support this bill. We need the immigrant work force to do the jobs American citizen will not do. Many of these jobs that are not being filled are well paying. Also, as a businessman, the influx of immigrants will broaden the labor pool, providing better candidates. Also, more citizens means more tax dollars without raising everyone. Also, with legal workers, more revenue will be spent in their local towns, further bettering the economy.

This bill means nothing but good things for America. Only the short sighted are against it.

Answer 2

I don't support it.
The biggest problem with it is that they want amnesty before securing the border. Which tells us that they have no intention of securing it. The borders should have been secured after 911, if our government was so worried about terrorism. It disturbs me that the government wants to give us another ID card, under the claim that "it stops illegals from voting". So much deception yet people continue to support these mainstream candidates who are going to ignore the problems and dodge the truth.
THe truth is that the six or seven mainstream candidates are members of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) and the Federal Reserve, who is pushing for a North American Union with a common currency of the Amero. All this under the pretext of better trade and national defense. Who is on the CFR? ? Giuliani, Clinton, Obama, THompson, Edwards, McCain (duh) and ROmney. THese people are unelectable in my eyes. and I only wish people would turn off the news and do the research themselvees because once the NAU is established, our constitution will be done forever (like England did with the EU)
That is the point of no return.

Answer 3

I don't support the bill because

1. the new laws will not be enforced.
2. It will not stop at 12 or 15 million it will turn into 100 million.
3. It will really kill social security and medicare.
4. It will just create more bureacy.

But mostly it is a boondongle which will not solve the problem because they will not enforce it just like the current laws that are not enforced.

Answer 4

I do not support the bill. We currently have immigration laws that aren't being enforced. The guest worker program and the Z-Visa program among other parts of this proposed bill is a load of crap - illegals are not guests here - they're ILLEGALS! They broke the law to get here and they should pay the price! I'm for 1) closing our borders - anyone caught trying to bypass the legal entrances should be flagged (photo, name recorded and placed in a database accessable to all borders crossings, including airports, trains, bus depots, etc., 2)deporting all illegals - if you are caught, you are gone!, 3) heavily fining companies and individuals that hire illegals, and 4) The immigration dept should start a task force to check id's of the thousands of day-workers who congregate every morning in front of 7-11's and other corners - if you're illegal, your gone! Illegals have no rights under the US Constitution because they are ILLEGAL!

Answer 5

I personally liked the bill that they are trying to pass. The only other option is to leave the status quo, and the status quo brought in the 12 million people here in the first place. You guys are going to rate me down. But you know what? I don't think anybody politician even wants any sort of measure done to fix the immigration problem. They just wnat something to complain about for so they can score political points for whatever party you affiliate with

Answer 6

I'm a liberal Democrat who opposes the bill. Every part of the bill disturbs me, but I suppose the worst is this: A cop stops you, and he has to see your ID before he can decide if you've committed a crime or not. Different sets of laws for different people, inside one country? We had that during segregation...

Answer 7

The law is so poorly written that nobody could legitimately understand it and claim it is good legislation. We let people who have committed a criminal act in illegally entering this country to go to the head of the line ahead of those who have went through proper channels to immigrate legally? We let them pay a token fine and some undetermined back taxes and all if forgiven. Why don't we do that with criminals here in the us. Get out of jail, pay a fine, record expunged. If you will commit a criminal act to get here, engage in identification fraud to get a job, what other crimes are you willing to commit. Ask the Denver police what they think of blanket amnesty for illegals. They had to chase one down in Mexico who killed a cop in Denver. That's "Denver Colorado" a town who's mayor has designated it as a safe haven for illegals. Get in an auto accident with one up there. they don't present a license to the police, they just give them a bogus name, take the ticket they will never pay, and drive off leaving you to pay for your own car damage. Lots of benefits to having amnesty for illegals, only problem is that benefits are all for the illegals and not for the citizens. Send the illegals home, doccument and investigate all we allow in, rescind residency for any alien comitting a crime on US soil, and deport them. We have enough problems with criminals native to our society, we dont need to import more!

Answer 8

Not me. Ido favor immigration reform--including bot h a guest worker program and (simply because it's a practical necessity) some form of legal status option for the illegals. But this bill is simply extremely poor legislation, and is unworkable in practice.

Answer 9

According to polls something like nearly almost 20% of the people support this bill.... But brain dead idiots have rights too.

Answer 10

The American public has been whining for decades for a solution to this problem, and now that Congress has given them a workable Bill, more moaning and groaning.
The American voting public really don't know what the hell they want. And they don't know what 'amnesty' means.
What a bunch of idiots!
