A: The way they are going, no.
Q: Also, do you believe it will be resolved with or without a reform?
A: No, but there is a lot they can do and don't care to, and they have to earn some trust, as you can see.

Hey Nancy Drew: There is already a way to get these people here legally. It's called filing your petition through U.S.C.I.S. and paying your fees and going to your interviews. Millions of immigrants come here legally and get their citizenship every year. I used to work at an immigration office. Yes, it does take a while, sometimes many years, to become a citizen, but it's usually the happiest day of their lives. I have nothing but respect for the legal immigrants who are going about it the correct way. On the other hand, all the illegals and their sympathizers can get the <****> out. I think I heard a little while ago that Rudy Guiliani said that illegal immigration isn't a crime..... HELLO!!!!!!!! why is it called illegal then?????
DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS!!!!!! NO MORE BENEFITS FOR ILLEGALS!
Do you really think any other country would be as stupidly lenient as ours has been about illegals? I guarantee if you tried to sneak into another country and live there illegally that they would boot your @$$ out in a hot minute. No other countries are putting all their signs and systems and customer service phone numbers into other languages because their illegal immigration problem has become so bad.
The illegal immigration issue will not be resolved without a huge reform and definitely not before or soon after the 2008 elections.
Everyone needs to get out and vote for the candidates that are hell-bent on kicking out the illegals. And if they get voted in and don't do what they say they would, boot their @$$es out and elect someone else that promises to get the job done.

It's too bad all the immigrants here aren't legal, because if they could have voted, we never would have had Bush in office for the past few years (if even the first term . . . . )
Anyway, It will be after the election. Bush is in his final stretch and focused on his "legacy" which is going to be making sense of the situation in Iraq somehow. If he doesn't clean it up before he leaves office, he'll go down in the books as the moron who started a disastrous mess and jumped ship-- a coward, one of the worst presidents we've ever had.
Immigration is an election issue. (Anything that divides people down racial lines tends to be an election issue.)
It's too small of an issue for Bush to mess with at this point. He's got bigger fish to fry.
As for after 2008, it will all depend on the winner of the election. Issues of security and economic balance will be constantly struggling with each other-- if we open up immigration policy farther and relax our policy we open ourselves up to security problems. I think reform will be necessary, but I don't see it being very radical.

I don't think the illegal immigration issue in America will ever be solved. The larger the Hispanic population grows, the more scared American politicians will be to take a strong stance against illegal immigration. We don't need reform, we just need our current immigration laws to be enforced. But most American politicians are afraid of alienating Hispanic voters, & of being called a racist. So nothing is really going to change in the near future.

I don't think the immigration issue will ever be resolved...because the politicians are so busy trying not to piss off the immigrants and their bevy of councils at their feet that they are just pissing off the regular American citizen who was BORN here you know...the VOTER...
Roosevelt had it right when he said it...there are no African-Americans, no Chinese-Americans, no Japanese-Americans, no Mexican-Americans...etc. We are ONLY Americans, and if you have to hyphenate your American then you really AREN'T an American...
I'm so tired of us AMERICANS getting OUR rights and OUR liberties taken away from us because it MIGHT upset someone else, and we have to make concessions for them...well dammit, I don't agree. If you moved to Mexico, you would be EXPECTED to learn to speak Spanish because that is what they speak there. If you moved to Africa, any Africanese language that was recognized as the "official language" would be what you were expected to speak. It is the same all over the world, except here in the United States. We provide translators, forms in different languages for people who cannot or will not learn English, simply because it might impede with their values, their culture, their beliefs...
I could go on and on forever on this, I'm so incensed by our ELECTED officials catering to the foreigner and big business they have forgotten that WE put them in that office, and WE vote and WE are the people they should be catering to.

Not as long as Ted Kennedy is in office . He is the Liberal that has proposed all 6 "Amnesty" bills since 1986 , and hasn`t enforced a one of them . For the idiots that continue their " blame Bush for everything" including the Illegal Immigration problem , are you really that stupid to believe 20 million Illegal Aliens have sneaked into the country in the last 7 years ? Of course you do , the liberal socialist bias` media has told you so ...

I am afraid it won't really be resolved at all.Even with a reform, it is going to be hard. If people would just show more love for this country, our politicians might figure how to handle things correctly.

immigration issue will never be solved because people will never stop having babies... and if people never stop having babies then people will never stop having the need to move around and want to seek better living else where....
as far as politics goes, every presidential candidate makes a buncha pretty promises just to get elected but then slacks off once elected president. it's the norm of this world... in every country... promises made, never kept.
