Have you changed your opinion about amnesty (either for or against) within the last year?
If so, what WAS your opinion and what changed your mind?

10-12 million unlawful immigrants is a ways too low. regrettably, the selection is very almost doubled. How might that be trustworthy to the loads of thousands of immigrants who got here to the US "for a extra useful existence" in the process the conventional and legal technique??? It would not. it may be a slap contained in the face of each American citizen and each immigrant who got here right here legally!! replaced into it elementary for those immigrants to come again to the US? No, yet they nevertheless went in the process the right and stunning channels. it extremely is the difficulty!! we've regulations in place that illegals are KNOWINGLY over-looking and thereby disrespecting usa, human beings and the yank way of existence. Jobs should not be taken removed from human beings and given to illegals. How is that sturdy for the monetary device??? How does illegals sending money returned to their residing house u . s . help the monetary device?? One individual's weblog would not furnish genuine information on the region. carry out a little extra study and you will see how illegals are increasing crime costs, hurting the monetary device, stealing jobs from human beings, not paying ALL taxes, putting a monetary burden on our faculties and hospitals, etc. etc.

No - how could anyone see the results of the 1986 amnesty and possibly think it is a good thing.
Hey Kevin - I have to show my ID at roadblocks.

I haven't. We have offered amnesty before and it was under the premise that we would not be in this situation again.
We need to fix the problems associated with globalization. We need to better secure our economy here first before we should consider amnesty one final time. Procedures need to be in place so this is the final time if it is decided amnesty should be granted again.
The jobs report data that was released. All of those jobs created were government jobs, non-producing jobs, according to my dad. They cost us money. They aren't bringing anything in. Most people will not see the benefit. This is where I become more of a republican but I consider myself much more of a democrat. Dennis Kucinich is my #1 choice for President. He is brilliant. He knows what needs to be done in order to make us a more prosperous and productive country. Ron Paul is ok but he wants to starve government of money and I think that is a short sighted strategy but he's far superior to any of the other Republican candidates.

I have always been against amnesty. I am even more against it now. My city is now 87% Hispanic. My wall and sidewalk is constantly being tagged by gangs. I cannot walk outside after dark. There was a drive by shooting on the corner. No one around here speaks English anymore. And the attitude sucks.

I take it your speaking of illegal immigration. Simple fact, they come here illegally, work under the table, use our healthcare that "We the People" has to pay for, their children gets FREE schooling-again we have to pay for, get assistance for food and shelter-again we have to pat for.
True, some are hard working and trying to feed a family...BUT let them do it legally here or not at all. Meaning, DO NOT COME HERE TILL YOUR LEGAL.
America has enough unemployeement. Hundreds upon thousands of US jobs is now over seas, Big corps are putting the small business out to dry, illegals from Mexico is over running our middle class jobs from farming to construction making it very hard for Americans to get work and putting smaller contractors out of business.
There is no room for more and they continue to come and come. Amnesty...NO/GO! We need to close the borders, tighten immigration and reform, Do a MASSIVE round and deport (to save our azzes in the long run finacially, welfare, medicare, security and the American Traditions). Arrest and fine those who hire illegals. Get the American jobs back in the US..
Want to fight the War on Terror? We need to start over here at home and sucure the borders from this invasion or we will never be safe. All we are is a waiting time bomb the way we are going atm.

I have not changed my opinion since then.
It is completely unfair for legal immigrants who pay thousands of dollars and go through years of process while illegal immigrants are just waiting (and demanding!) for an amnesty when they don't even pay taxes. Legals are the ones who suffer for the continuous immigration fee hike!

I never was for "Amnesty". Do I think some deserve a chance? Yes I do and always have. The Comprehensive Reform Bill wasn't bad until they started listening to outside interests on it. Then it became a travesty. Too many would have gotten visa's who definitely didn't deserve one. So in essence the Bill changed my mind.

You know I just don't understand what the heck is so hard to understand about wanting people to obey our laws. I don't understand why illegals feel they should be automatically given citizenship simply because they work for $15 an hour picking fruit and vegetables.
Tell you what. Lets deport all the illegals and then take everyone that's living off of welfare and put them in those jobs. That way we kill two birds with one stone.
