Do you think the US should approve another amnisty like in 1986.?

NO.\n\nAmnesty does nothing but encourage more people currently in Mexico to come to America.  It sends the message that it's ok if you're "illegal" infact we won't even call you illegal... we'll call you "undocumented" just so we won't hurt your feelings!\n\nWhen almost all Americans agree that we should secure the border by among other things building & improving upon the fence why is it that our politicians in Washington can't seem to get it through their heads?

No, especially considering the fact that would make the average American a hypocrite.\n\nWhoops, already happened.

You have to wait until 07 if it even happens then.  Remember Bush holds the veto pen!

Makes a whole lot of sense to me!  Never thought of it, but great point!  I agree that the USA would do something about it if they wanted to.

This couldn't have been done 100 yrs. ago, let alone today.  No one in the states today wears clothes made in the USA.  We are so tangled with the Global Economy, we couldn't function if we withdrew.  There  would be no cars, computers, TV, trade of any kind, etc.  if we did that.  We have to be involved.  The question is about who is making the deals we get in, and who do they serve?  Today, we have been sold down the river by the powerful and they don't care what happens to you or your country.  We  should be telling them to go screw themselves.

We can only speculate on that. Look into the counter world of this. Each choice you make causes something different to happen. History has the same effect. I believe somewhere that happned. All the worlds are balanced. Okay i got off topic.\nI believe there would be no more u.s.a\n~Blessed be~

Many people don't realize that we tried the amnesty thing in 1982(and several times before). Ronald Reagan signed a bill granting amnesty to illegal aliens with the understanding that any further aliens who entered illegally would be not granted this same priviledge. Now Bush and others want to do the same thing. When we will stop this. Is "This time we mean it !" enough ? It has to stop somewhere and now is better than later.\n\nI'm glad you mentioned the fake ID angle. Faking a Social Security card would get you or I thrown in prison with a felony.\n\nAnd language ? I work in a truckstop where aliens get a CDL license but speak no English. Nice to know that someone who knows little English can drive a 80,000 truck.

hasn't it been since 1989?  probably until a treaty is signed.

Well it would depend on the Constitution of the particular country.  But as an example the United States and Great Britain both have bi-cameral legistative systems.

Yes they certainly should, and I don't think it should be a question of being 'allowed' either. They should make the decision themselves for what they feel is best for their country without overbearing 'superpowers' breathing down their necks.

It sure would, go propose it to congress. Good Job!!

Multilaterialism is great when we can, however an elected governments first obligation is always to serve the best intrest of it's own people first. But name one instance when the US acted unilaterally we have always had at least some support from other countries. Vietnam is probably the closest you can get but even in that case we had some support from the rest of the world and the French basically created the mess.

At some point in the future there should certainly be a referendum on the subject. I'm not altogether sure that independence would be a good thing. Small states tend to get picked on by bully boys. You know who I mean.

They defeated a motion to proceed in the Senate.  It got 38 votes, I think, and needed 60.  Now Repubs and Dems are accusing each other, again, of not making headway on this issue.\n\nThe bill would have allowed another round of amnesties for people who had been here from 2-5 or more years and had not committed serious crimes.  They would have been allowed to apply for green cards, permanent residency, and so on.  In other words, they would have been rewarded for breaking the law, as has happened several times since 1986.  Back then, Reagan signed a bill allowing for the first modern amnesty of this sort.\n\nAs it stands now, our immigration laws do not have current provisions for ongoing amnesties, though some illegals who have not registered MIGHT be able under older laws to apply for residency.  They'd need to check with an immigration attorney on that one.\n\nI say we deport them all en masse, which is permitted under our Constitution, laws, and the doctrines of national sovereignty.  Given the ability, the USA would do just that, I think, but I have read lots of articles about manpower shortages at ICE and what are still porous borders...

HELL NO!  America is tending to interfere in other countrys matters far too much. They should realise by now that the second world war ended in 1945 with the unification of italy. The two super powers were usa and Russia. Russia got over it that times change but its just that usa is still stuck on the whole "super power of the world" thing. What happens in iraq and the middle east is their concern and they will sort it out their way usa has no right to interfere. usa has oil reserves that it can use but it wants to use the oil in the middle east that belongs to them but then kinda mysteriously got under iraq. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
