Only if we allow it to happen in the legislation passed to grant them permanent legal status.
I would be very pro DACA but with strict limitations.
No criminal record period.
Each of them is given a bill for the taxpayer funded benefits they have enjoyed as illegals from ER care to public education of 5k per year up to 10 years. This must be paid in full before they would even be eligible to apply for citizenship, until then they would just be legal resident aliens.
After the 10 years during which they are on probation, no criminal offenses etc, 7 more years after application before citizenship can be granted.
No chain migration rights whatsoever to those legalized under the program and if the parents who came here illegally are still present, theyād have to be deported and permanently barred from reentry.
Just remember who these people are as they seem to want to take a victory lap around the White House! Lets see if they fall for the Trap that Trump has set!
What is even more frightening is the fact a lot of the migrants applying for asylum who do make it into the country will be displaced eventually due to AI and the lack of skill they possess. In England currently I was reading that 90% of the refugees taken in from muslim countries are still living on some form of government assistance. Trump is right about wanting to import the best people who have skills and are willing to assimilate. The biggest problem I have with liberals in general is that their arguement is that we Citizens must assimilate to their ways in order to be tolerant. What a bunch of crap!
You donāt know that! Lets see how this plays out! As the saying goes āthe devil is in the detailsā if some kind of deal is made before February 15th, otherwise I do expect Trump to follow through on his promise of shutting it down if democrats once again break their promise. Clearly the onus is now on the Democrats to get something done! If they fail then the optics will be much worse for Nancy and Chuckie!
Iāve seen those figures quoted repeatedly but I doubt they have any basis in fact.
No one should be even granted legal status much less citizenship other than legit refugees and asylees that cannot demonstrate at least an 8th grade English proficiency.
Unfortunately it is probably the prelude to a complete surrender by Trump.
That is by definition supposition on my part rather than a statement of hard fact.
Again you are letting your bias lead you in your thinking.
Trump had a golden opportunity for a win here if heād done as I suggested, instead he completely blew it and gave Pelosi the win on the shutdown.
You canāt roll back time and start over and whatever political will he had behind him heās now given up with the surrender.
There isnāt enough support in either house now to get the wall funded so all heās left with is declaring an emergency and doing it by executive order which will be immediately slapped down in the lower courts and appeals courts which will hand him two more flops.
Heās giving the democrats all the momentum they need for a sweep in 2020 due to his political ineptness.
It doesnāt matter how right he is on issues we support if he canāt persuade the rest of the country to unify behind those policies.
Yes. Try telling your hard luck story to a judge as an American citizen and see if he cares if your crime wasnāt your fault. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. If my parents robbed a bank, I donāt get to keep the money because I was a minor when they gave it to me. If my parents give me a stolen car, it doesnāt become my car because I was a minor when they gave it to me.
Illegal immigration costs the U.S. $135 billion per year. FAIR estimated that 12.5 million illegal immigrants, as well as their 4.2 million U.S. citizen children, cost the federal government almost $46 billion and cost about $89 billion at the state and local levels annually.
And the left bitches about 5.7 billion to begin building a structure to keep them out.
Yale Professor: ā22.8 Million Undocumentedā Aliens Live in AmericaāDouble Official Estimates
And there are probably between 30-40 million illegals. Do the math for the cost.
Oh and if you really want to be compassionate, whatās wrong with permanent green card status instead of citizenship? Not being able to vote seems like a pretty minor price to pay for violating the laws of the country you wish to be part of.
How am I leading my bias into my thinking? I donāt agree with your assessment that is all, and you are simply speculating as is everyone else is on this current development. Lets see how this plays out to see if your analysis is correct! Huh? Ok? Stop trying to interpreted it for me.
I already know this, my argument is not about the numbers but the quality of people being imported into the country that eventually will become displaced due to lack of skills and education that they possess in the advent of emerging technology going to automation. Amazon is one such example who is Americaās biggest employer, along with these illegals, think about how many citizens are also going to be displaced and that leads to a much bigger crisis than we already have!
