Besides Rex or Decatur or other leftists?

Any Republicans or conservatives that support such a nation destroying policy?

Not amnesty but they need to rework the guest worker program so that's is less costly, more efficient and allows for more workers.

Yes...I think Pee Wee should get amnesty for his conviction of practicing safe sex.

Yes. Not toward any citizenship path, but rather to a legal worker visa program, residence documentation, coupled with appropriate border security.

I generally do, and believe it would help build America, not destroy it.

Letting in all those Europeans from late 19'th century on helped the country tremendously.

Yes, but it must come with a tough path to citizenship and border security. It also has to come after Obama leaves office because I don't trust him to keep up the security part of the deal.

i'd be on board with significantly beefed up border security with any kind of reform in this area. Not because of illegal immigration but because of terrorism concerns.

But we did not have a cradle to grave entitlement state at the time or things like income taxes where half the country didn't pay taxes.

Those people came here to assimilate and work, not send money back to their home countries and take jobs in a period of high long term unemployment

I have been trolling the conservative/right wing blogs and sites over the past week and have not found one self proclaimed Republican or conservative that wants amnesty or even legalization with no citizenship in the comment sections.

Even at places like Hot Air where the bloggers are pro-amnesty.

It's a losing issue that will piss off the base and cause us to stay home

Agree & so does traditionally conservative business groups like The Chamber of Commerce & The Wall Street Journal agree.


It's selling immigration to the Xenophobic Republican base that is the problem.

No. First, enforce existing immigration law and lock down the border with Mexico. Next improve the existing immigration law to make it easier for desirable immigrants come to the U.S. to work and earn a path to citizenship.

No way, no how should voting privileges be part of any deal.

I don't know exactly what amnesty is in terms of immigration.

I support letting men who wish to work work.

The republicans have allowed the dems to define this issue and that was a mistake.

What they should have been doing is talking in terms of expanding work visas by giving them to people who have jobs and health care.
