HAHAHA Immigration Reform is going to happen. I am a 31/white male in South Texas. I support a pathway to legalization. God is alive!

Countries where Politicans continually go against the will of the people usually end in revolution. History 101

Thank you Wrer you're absolutely correct. It will happen…not without infighting… but it will happen sooner rather than later. I'm a 64 year old white middle class elementary teacher from NJ who knows all about the undocumented worker and their children. The average Joe in this country is for the most part, surrounded by misinformation regarding this subject. If only people would try to find out the truth about an issue before forming an opinion. Everyone has a right to their opinion on any subject and it is their duty to find the truth before jumping on a bandwagon. Of course “truth finding” is something we teachers encourage all the time in our students.
It's a never ending battle and so it is with IMMIGRATION REFORM!

i kinda feel sad for the republican party, not people in it but the entity itself, in the past 150 years in went from a proud abolitionist party to a xenophobic ignorant idiot party hijacted by fools who think that u can press a button and 12 million people will suddenly vanish with no negative impacts whatsoever and people who still think that earth is flat and people who yell “SOCIALISM!” when infact they have no damn clue what socialism is to begin with and how can u link it up to obama

God bless, no god help america and shield it from stupidy of its own.

Abraham was an illegal immigrant from Babylon to Palestine.

14 million NEW American citizens would buy 14 million house, thus helping the housing market.

14 million NEW American citizens would buy 14 million new cars, thus helping the auto industry.

14 million NEW American citizens would buy sofas, TVs, washing machines, dish washers, and keep their money in an US bank. All these transactions would create a HUGE boost to the US economy.

14 million NEW CONSUMERS dedicated to the American Way of Life!

One wonders how you make a country out people whom don't fully have a political culture to even support their former country….? Only when you leave behind that which doesn't work, you can form something that works. America was blessed to be influenced by English political thought….latin america was not. It got the left overs of Europe…Spanish political thought…that and the infusion of communism. It's slowly changing, but the valve of illegal immigration and favoritism towards these countries doesn't really get the point across. America has to save Europe and basically occupy it for many years…just to get it's point across. Stop thinking your political views make sense and your nation we'll rise like Europe and Japan.

Many of these 14 million did attempt to own houses, and they were also a part of the subprime foreclosure process. Millions of consumers doesn't make an economy….it's production, specifically job production. Technology is the new business of America. It's no longer farming or manufacturing. We are advertising immigration to the wrong people. It should be 18-24 year old college bound students. Therefore they are at their productive years and pay into the system in which they take out of. The cost of educating illegal immigrants children is far more than the payments made by their parents in terms of estate tax. In most cases they simply do not have the education or position in the world to pay for what they consume in the public sector.

But they aren't American citizens. They are illegal. If they were American citizens, then no problem. I think the way the government should bend them over just like they do us. They need to pay federal and state taxes and into Social Security.

[...] That’s certainly what Democrats hope will happen. Democrats can’t pass immigration legislation — even the less controversial DREAM Act — without Republican support. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), at least, seems to think there is a possibility of McCain shifting back to the center after his primary: “I think once we get past the Arizona GOP primary that sparked the recent anti-immigration reform eruption, we will have a chance of getting some of the Republicans in the Senate to also come forward and work with Democrats to get a bill passed,” Gutierrez said in July.

Oh yeah, people who have at most a high school education (most lacking even that) are really going to save our economy. The only thing you're missing is: how are they going to EARN the money to do anything? What skills do they have that will allow us to export stuff that the world wants?

Hint: running those edger machines and busing tables do not generate exportable products. And working in meat packing plants doesn't either.

This is the 21st century, in which skills reign, and high levels of literacy and numeracy are essential to make someone a worthwhile economic contributor. As it is 40% of Americans pay no fed income tax–almost all the illegal immigrants would be in the same category.

Do the math: it doesn't add up. If we legalize the illegals, they become the cart, not the horse.

Are you aware that states that have passed tough anti-illegal-immigration laws have seen rather rapid and substantial outflows of illegal immigrants? Google the newspaper stories about people leaving Arizona when they first passed their employer sanction bill. We don't need to press a button and have them vanish. We just need to pass laws that make it tougher and tougher, and they will self deport in substantial numbers.

Of course, maybe you don't *want* them to self-deport. If so, why don't you be honest? You just want people who willfully broke our laws to be rewarded? Well most of us don't want that, and of the people who care strongly almost all of us oppose this–so we will carry the day.

All people have to do is not break our laws and they need have no problem with us. These folks broke our laws. They're in trouble now.

You just watch: it ain't gonna happen. The reason is that the people who care strongly oppose it. That's what politicians care about. You will lose.

As long as there is no amnesty and is tough on illegal immigrants (undocumented workers). Also beef up the border more and faster!!

were there immigration laws? If you can show me laws you are right. then he was. If not he was merely an immigrant.

I met an 80 year old woman this weekend who lived through Nazism and the Communist takeover. She is scared of what is happening to the country.
I think she would know what is happening. If this isn't socialism it is too darn close!!!
Now I will yell socialism without feeling I am wrong!!

Exactly they need education right, then we as Americans should pass the DREAM Act.
