Why do the pro-illegals keep insisting amnesty will pass?

Question

When we have clearly demonstrated that it will not? We defeated amnesty not once but TWICE now. Yet they keep thinking that it's gonna happen. Are they in denial? Do they not realize that no matter how many times an amnesty bill is presented we will be there to ensure it never sees the light of day?

Here's a good example.

Answer 1

wishful thinking and pipe dreams.

Who needs to deport them, all we have to do is pass the same laws as Arizona and then enforce the laws on a state level.

Once they stop getting jobs and are denied welfare they will be forced to go home and do things the right way.

Answer 2

It seems like past amnesties were a huge factor in creating this mess. Obviously, amnesty does not work and with the track record it's got, there is no use in doing it again.

I was disappointed when I looked at the potential candidates. I was kind of hoping to vote for a Democrat because we need a some balance with the fundamentalist crowd, but every one of them was pro amnesty. They can forget my support.

Solving the problem is no big deal. Verification of status upon employment. Employers moan but all it would take is a simple data base to compare papers against records. With the Internet it could quickly be made available to all who need it. Illegal immigration will dry up when the jobs do.

Given that the Senate tried to keep it secret until 19 June and the results, immigration is going to be the key issue in the next election. It will likely push some front runners out of the game.

Answer 3

my own Spanish teacher does not like the idea and this because they are selfish and don't want to learn English etc she said that she has talked to some. now she has known some to just come over here and go back on there own but the others 99% are worthless. I am all for being nice and giving but if this is abused then hell take it away and make them all go1 and who was stopping them not the border patrol but civilians and they are the ones in trouble because leaders are head dead. (that was a quote from rush limbah) radio show.

i have meet some and they try to act like anybody there around black, white, etc. and then SOME NOT ALL start violence we don't need.

now if we can get the government to stop this non0sence and keep the pressure on them we might discourage it.

but wait what about the bill or rights etc!> No they are illegal and this is where the line is put and full predates should be taken. it one gets hurt help them and then off with them. (another quote from the radio talk shows.)


let the legels stay and live happy but out with the rest

Answer 4

I do not support amnesty, but sadly the numbers and the supporters such as our own president and a good numbers of our elected officials are not on our side, so a piece meal immigration bill will be passed in sections. Such as the Dream Act that not only give financial aid to the illegals but grant them the green card at a latter date. I live in Miami, and I have watched the Cubans arrive in the 60's with the clothes on their backs, and have transformed Miami from a American city to one that is clearly a Hispanic city, for good or bad depending on where you stand. I remember when a English Only bill was voted on and passed by the citizens, and the 30 years later that bill be over turned during a county hearing. I know I am a pessimist my nature but also a realist, and this is just the beginning a Hispanic country.

Answer 5

Because so many of our leaders in government want to give amnesty. They're giving them hope. And it seems as long as we don't pass a bill addressing it, they are getting a type of amnesty because our government won't enforce the current laws on the books. Now they don't want to bring it up again because there's an election looming and it could hurt their votes. It's insane and we should all still be writing our senators telling them to deport them now.

Answer 6

The reason is this:

Those of us who are old enough to have been through all this before - some of us several times - know that the ONLY thing that ever happens is amnesty. That's the way it is.

It is impossible to find, roundup and deport 12 million people.... That is more than the combined population of Colorado, Arizona and Nevada - and MORE than the entire country of Denmark.....

I personally have been witness to this immigration think 3 times in my life....I'm an old cookie.... and amnesty is what happens.

Do you know that the President has the power to declare amnesty without the involvement of the House? Well, he does...or she does, as the case may be.

The bill that was defeated in the House was only there because it was asking for REFORM and CHANGE in the immigration LAWS.... Congress must approve that. But the president can declare blanket amnesty anytime he wants.

Anyone want to take any bets that Bushie will do it before he leaves office????

Answer 7

From a purely practical point of view, 12 million people will create a hell of a traffic jam.

I'm not in favor of amnesty, but we are living in a time when it takes months to get a passport, the government is full of political appointees who can't get it together to do the things to keep illegal aliens out by following the laws already on the books.
Thinking we could transplant some twelve million men women and children across the river is blind foolishness.
We need to stop thinking in circles, and come up with some new ideas, and they have to realize that if they want citizenship its going to have to be in English.

Answer 8

The best thing illegal alien invaders in this country can do now is leave while they can. Mood in the nation is changing. As more people misunderstand misinterpret and, some disrespect, American Patriots' position, our resolve becomes more galvanized for change in the current situation of lawlessness and descent into anarchy.



We the American People will not be denied. It is beyond my control or yours. American Citizens or its unity will be defending their freedom. They will not yield and no accusations of racism or other charges anyone can make will change or alter their direction now.

Answer 9

Because the corruption of our politicians give them hope. Congressmen who support the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill seem to forget that their responsibility is to US citizens not to mojados including those who answer in all UPPER CASE letters.

Answer 10

It's mushrooms, it's tequila, it is something hallucinogenic. Maybe they buy into the "fake it til you make it " mentality.

Just a few weeks ago they were all posting about amnesty. At Atzlan. Both have seemed to die down in the face of reality.

Somehow they ignore the reality that the democratic controlled Congress actually voted against it. That the American people have spoken out vehemently to get their position heard.

Thats OK. With mroe and more states, cities and municipalities now saying "enough is enough"....it will get harder and harder and harder for them to deny the reality and gravity of the situation.

Thankfully.
