| badgenome said: I can understand some sort of an amnesty way, way down the line after the bleeding has been stopped for some number of years, but I can't see why should they be made citizens as opposed to being given some sort of guest worker status or legal residence. And in terms of family reunification, just where would you draw the line? If you let 10-12 million people bring over their extended families, or even just their very large immediate families, that can get out of control very quickly. |
Obviously the details need to be hammered out, but my point is that we unfortunately will have to accept some form of amnesty once we stop the flood and fix the immigration laws. We can't just ignore the folks that are here, and reality is that it would be a impossible to try to send them all home (I would if we could).
How we go about solving that is certainly up for debate but some form of amnesty will be required ...as much as I dislike the idea of rewarding anyone for a crime....
