Who wants amnesty for illegal aliens?

Question

If illegal immigrants are legalized, and allowed to tap into their Social Security contributions made while they were here illegally, it could cost the nation over $200 billion and further jeopardize the financial health of the Social Security system.

So says the Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan group whose mission is to advocate for seniors.

Answer 2

Cost isn't the issue. We would save, over time, a lot more than we would spend. Of course, it would have been less expensive had we not let it get this far. My concern is that if we don't give amnesty, it will be supposedly 'in return' for a guest worker program. Every guest worker proposal on the table, including Pence's is really a permanent immigration rate increase with a path to citizenship and 'chain migration' permitted through family reunification. That would be a constant, and thereby unassimilated, stream of poor, non-English speaking immigrants we would subsidize in our schools and hospitals. The Senate bill volume of guest workers is so high people are not even arguing that numbers would be excessive if the maximum allowed came in. They are arguing that even though clearly the maximum would not realistically materialize, the amount that would come in would kill our services, and bring in indigent parents of immigrants at a time when we are concerned that safety nets and Social Security for the baby boomers will not be sufficient. Essentially the quotas are so large that it is a 'screening only' immigration policy. It is not limited to Mexican immigrants, but would be used by the world's poor, so until our way of life didn't pay them to come here instead, it would create basically a free flow of poor immigrants. Agriculture was trying to insist that those in the 'farm program' would be required to stay for 5 years in agriculture, because that is something not even illegals want to do at the prices agribusiness wants to pay. Apparently as construction etc has started draining off the illegals agribusiness felt rightfully belonged to them, they already have a hard time keeping workers at the much lower wages they are paying now than they paid 10 years ago. In other words, agribusiness would draw in constant new 'bottom of the ladder' people who would go on to take better jobs Americans definitely want to do after that. I am afraid that if we say no amnesty but yes guest worker program, we won't really deport all the people, and we will end up with both. I think Americans can't stand the media reports about honor students and Eagle Scouts who have lived most of their lives here getting deported. To the extent it ends up hitting people it turns out I know, it would be hard for me to take, too. This has nothing to do with cost. If we did give amnesty to screened illegals, it would help dismantle the underclass that protects the nasties. We could specify that this was a 'blue card' legalization which did not give rise to family reunification 'chain immigration' privileges. So then where would we be? We would have BOTH the guest worker program and amnesty. I think that is the worst of both worlds. I also think big business will NEVER be interested in closing the border because illegal workers will always be cheaper. On the other hand those who want amnesty MIGHT be willing to give up the magnets to illegals (in-state tuition and health care above emergency care, etc.) IF they got the current illegals legalized. These are primarily Democrats who do have a stake in not seeing schools ruined and wages driven down. We might be able to negotiate real border security with the pro-amnesty types, and deportation of the nasties, and dismantling of the illegal immigration magnets. The big business types on the other hand would pay a lot up front to show how earnest they are about closing the border. However it would all be in the staffing type of expense which, when removed later to cover pet projects, would leave no border protection at all. Suddenly, immigration laws are being enforced. Why weren't they enforced over the last 6 years? I don't trust the government to keep it up while we aren't watching. I want barriers, more detention facilities, sensors, and fences at the border. Those at least would continue to help the problem as time goes on.

Answer 3

Illegal immigrants have broken the law once; how many of them will break the law again?

If the President grants amnesty to illegals then certainly people applying for visa and petitions legally should be granted wishes to remain in the U.S. Where does that leave us standing?

I have a strong opinion on this topic because I am a U.S. citizen who married someone on a J1 visa that entered legally. Because he had a 2 year home rule restriction we were not allowed to remain together in the U.S. even after appealing our case for two years. Although the government acknowledged that we were legally married they still denied us. I had to choose between my family, career, and home or my husband. I chose to be with him and left everything behind.
If I must leave the U.S to be with my husband then it seems only right that illegal immigrants should not be allowed to stay.

Answer 4

Not me, that's for sure! I am sorry, but this really is a silent invasion by Mexico. What is so hard about applying for a visa in your own country? What makes these people different from all the thousands of Filipinos I saw in Manila ,while in the Navy, that would wait in line for weeks just to apply for a chance to come to America. They believe just because their country is on the American border, they have the right to come here anytime they want! I am sorry, but that's just not the case. The illegals are severly straining all of our community resources such as shool systems, health care systems, jail infrastructure, and the list goes on and on. For myself, There isn't a fence big enough we could build to stop them. Americans had better wake and realize that this is the most important issue facing our country and demand that Washington stem this tide or one day we'll wake up and and Real Americans will be the minority!

Answer 5

Not one person I've ever spoken with has said they want amnesty for this bunch of criminals. I would really hate it if our government would try that again and I believe it could be the beginning of a civil war the likes of which have never been seen before! Too many Americans against this to let this thing happen, it never will.

Answer 6

Amnesty would bankrupt this country both on the front end in welfare benefits, and on the back end with SSN benefits. Once amnesty is passed there will be no end to the wave of illegals coming to get their piece of the pie

Answer 7

Who supports amnesty for millions of criminal illegal aliens who are in violation of U.S. laws?

There are only a couple of reasons anyone would support illegal aliens.

1) They are an illegal alien.
2) Their parent(s) are illegal aliens ( they are anchor babies).
3) Other family members are illegal aliens.
4) Their girlfriend/boyfriend is an illegal alien.
5) They are an employer of illegal aliens, (so are profiting off of crime at the expense of the taxpayers).
6) Some of the above.
7) All of the above.

If you asked every person who supports amnesty for illegal aliens these questions, no doubt 99% of them would answer YES to at least one of them.

It would certainly be more accurate to call "pro-illegal immigration" advocates - "anti-law abiding".
And "anti-illegal alien" advocates are, in reality - "pro-law abiding".
Those are more accurate terms, since those people who support illegal aliens and amnesty are not in support of respecting and obeying any of our laws.

Answer 8

What I think will be hilarious is when illegals lose their job to other illegals for even less money.. So while struggling for $9.00 flipping burgers and legal status may be in question your buddy is standing there as an illegal ready to do your job for HALF OR LESS. Bwuahahaha... Gotta love it...

Answer 9

How could amnesty hurt its not like they'll get free health care this is the U.S. we don't offer universal health care they'd have to pay insurance compines like U.S. citizens, thats a plus, if they got social security they'd have to pay into it like every one else and if theyre citezins theyll have more taxes to pay like income tax so more money for goverment whats the bad?
