No way.\n\n As for they are already here excuse? \nWe have the millions to feed and cloth and medicate them. \nWe have the millions to make stupid coins to represent each state. \nWe have the trillions to trade with other countries for free and send them our food.\nWe have the money to poor millions into politicians campains.\nWe have billions to run off and "save" other countries whether they want it or not. \n\nThen We have the money to impose fines on employers and deport whoever does not leave on their own when ILLEGAL jobs from slaver employers dry up. And save our own country, so that there is a healthy country with abundant resources left to except legal immigrants into.\n\nCorporation's are and have been buying up the newstations and print the statistics. Don't believe it all. In the last 10 years we Americans have been fed more propaganda and lies than what was distributed on both sides of world war II. \n\nie: results from presidential voting polls, weapons of mass destruction, spying policies and the laws around it, politician kickbacks, politicians and their family history into oil interests. Just to name a few.\n\nTo the person who said this sampling would be all upper class that answer cuz of access to computers. Even those of us on the lower end of the economic scale, here in America can scrap together $400 for a Dell from saving for a year or incometax returns. Every Large city library in this country has turned into homeless shelters. And what are are homeless and bums doing while there? They are ALL on the computers. Hands down dude that has to be bar none the most ignorant statement I have read here, in the last few days.

Absolutely!! Either party if they supported Amnesty aka allowing criminals to stay(illegals are breaking the law and as such are criminals)will not get my vote and I will be sure to share info about all representatives voting records for this area with all neighbors,family and friends,not getting any votes from here:)

Yes, we're flaming mad and will grow larger and larger to fight the injustice done to us.  I only save one thing - that as red upset as we are, you get to go home - that is your amnesty.\n\nSometimes when you bite the system - the system bites back.  They don't realize how much happier Americans would be to let them go to jail than pay for them.\n\nYour government lied to you - and our government has been complicit until now - even the Senate bill in base is tough.  I read an article today how now there's no one left to do the work in Mexico, you are all here.  Your country needs you - you have close election there - if you can organize here, you can organize there, but by the Grace of God go home and make you country repsectable!!  Do that and we'll be your best friends!!\n\nKeep believing the lies - and watch where that gets you!!!\n\nSome of you people aren't even up with what's going on!  The Senate is turning toward the House, and the House passed a bill that if local police don't enforce immigration, they lose millions!!  Not to mention all the cities - and states like Georgia - that are passing anti-immigration laws!\n\nI take it also most of you don't remember that amnesty was passed in 1986, and the promises of law enforcement didn't happen!!  WE WILL NOT LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN!!!\n\nEVEN VDARE ADMITS THE TIDE IS TURNING IN OUR FAVOR, THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE ARE TURNING SLOWLY BUT ARE BEGINING TO TURN!!\n\nYOU MAY SAY YOU WON'T GIVE UP - BUT YOU CAN BET NIETHER WILL WE!!!!  WE ARE IN IT FOR THE LOOOOONG HAUL!!!

Once in a while a US state offers some type of amnesty arrangement. The federal government does not. However, you could investigate an Offer in Compromise.

WOW!  37 answers in only two hours!  Is this a heated debate or what?  ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DESERVE NO RIGHTS!  If they want to march, they should march their asses straight south & cross the border!  Obviously, our Govt is more concerned about economy then they are about securing our borders, making us safe from terrorists & illegals or listening to THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LEGAL CITIZENS AND VOTE THEM INTO OFFICE--inc the President of the US.  Every national poll on CNN or MSNBC shows that the majority of Americans are against, rather than for this amnesty proposal.  If Congress doesn't represent the majority of Americans than what good are they?  I ADVOCATE going to the polls in Nov & getting something done about it!  And for some of the people here who don't know what they are talking about, illegal immigrants ARE getting free medical benefits AND free schooling AND free food stamps EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS.  Oh yeah, and in case you haven't seen the article about the female in LA who had her social card (the numbers)  stolen by over 200 illegals who kept circulationg the numbers on her ss card--don't tell me they can't get a ss card!  If I sound bitter, I am!  Illegals are driving down the wages of middle class Americans now and when the SS admin, Medicare & VA benefits and student loan funding is no longer available to US citizens, I hope you're still singing the same tune!

In my opinion,\n\nI hear my politicians say the opposite of what they said earlier this year.  They are liars so I think the best solution is to vote them all out!\n\nWe need some fresh blood in the system and purge the tainted blood.\n\nThe system is failing under the old politicians watch.  They ALL take bribes, perks, campaign contributions from special interest groups who are usually big business! \n\nIt's all their fault our country falters, get rid of them all and let's start over!\n\nWith exception of the ones you absolutely know are against illegal immigration and amnesty!\n\nMcCain's a traitor!\nHilliary is the new Anti-Christ!

You are right and wrong with this question.  \n\nI believe that MOST Americans care, they just have place their personal life ahead of the news.  They are bombarded on a daily basis about people getting killed in Iraq and Afganistan, and they have learned to tune it out.  \n\nSad, but true.

I seriously doubt it! lol, I think if it would only be for those who weren't caught and have a certain length of time working and living here in the u.s. I think the amnesty part may be for the parents of "anchor" babies. (children of illegal immigrant parents). I think the rest will prob. only get a temporary work permit for like 3 years or something, and then they will have to reapply for it again. It's pretty much up in the air as to IF it will be passed. President Bush said that the 'undocumented' workers will have to get to the back of the line when it comes to the immigration process. It'll prob. be YEARS before you could become a  resident much less a citizen. It's not going to be as easy as it sounds.

No they have applied for amnesty. It's one of the bills supported by the Democrats who now contol Congress. Perhaps a wall.............. a very high wall between our borders might be the solution to this horrible crisis that we now face.

An interesting assignment. I would be interested in seeing how that goes...\n\nI'm a Republican, and there's really not allot that stumps me. However, I WOULD ask for proof that a guest-worker bill is NOT amnesty by another name.

That the Congress is now wanting to give amnesty to all these people. I think there is a hidden agenda there and I think it will undermine the present midleclass. I live in AZ and see the jobs construction jobs these persons are taking that most of us couldn't live on. Now there is a push for minority small business owners, painters, stucco, roofing etc looking for bilingual persons to run crews of these people putting many of us oit of work.

The American people understand that talk of amnesty by some in our government as our wide-open borders are compromised by thousands daily is irresponsible and causes a tsunami of illegal entry into this country by those seeking to get in under the wire to take advantage of the offer of amnesty. \nAs these numbers grow in volume and scope, the international criminal cartels gain even more control over our border frontiers, the black market underground swells with document fraud and identity theft, and the drug and contraband turf wars accelerate. More gang violence erupts in our cities by murderous thugs such as MS-13, the ruthless gang of self-professed friends of al Qaeda who, by our own government’s estimation, number in the tens of thousands in cities across America. National security and public safety demand that we make securing our borders combined with serious interior enforcement the first and most urgent priority of Homeland Security.  This is not rocket science.  It is time for our politicians to hear what the people are saying to them:  Secure our borders now!  No amnesty.

illegal immigration is turning this country into something other than a 'melting pot'...with soo many new (illegal) immigrants, that are prob. going to get amnesty, the u.s. will have no choice but to limit the amount of immigrants comming from other countries around the world, to keep the u.s. from becomming over populated.. our immigration system is being overwhelmed by a single region, and i'm afraid other's in the world will see it as unfair...i will agree with them. (many people around the world have to wait years, and even decades for the immigration lottery to pick them, on top of paying all the legal fees, and seeing others break the law and get away with it is depressing)

Let's see, the last amnesty for immigrants was 1986, who was President then. Why it was that old cowboy Ron Reagan, the father of the conservative movement, what a great question for a civics test. And I don't remember any outcry either.

Don't forget...Bush also wants amnesty and a guest worker program.\n\n\nWhich I hope does not happen..I do not support amnesty.

Yes\n\nLiberals represent a 1.4% minority according tho the Census bureau\n\nRecent polls show a majority of Americans want some change to the Stay the Path model that we have been living with.\n\nGo big Red Go

Hmmm....mainly because they have VERY powerful advocacy groups DEMANDING money out of the american taxpayers' wallet. Vote against immigration amnesty, if you feel strongly about not having the United States become the Global Welfare Provider...and you're going to have to fire a bunch of people out of state and federal government, too...and I doubt they'll go quietly...
