Criminals May Get Resident Status?

I think it just needs to be thoroughly revised by both parties before they pass it, or even think about passing it. They are already here, so why not intergrate them into soceity. If you think about it, deporting every single illegal would be a ton of work and it would cost a lot of money, money that's still going to be taken out of our paychecks. It would also have a profound impact on the economy, since they have been here for a long time and have contributed to the economy one way or the other. either way something has to be passed, this whole immigration issue needs to be addressed one way or the other.

This is the equivalent of telling kidnappers that if they treat the kid well for long enough, they get to be the "real" parents and keep the kid.

I was a civilian employee for US Air Force for 4 years, the US Army for 8 years and married to a US Citizen before I came to the States....but I still had to get a green card, prove I could speak English be completely healthy then get a job, sign an affidavit that I would not be a burden on the US government, would be able to support my self, and then I studied hard (and paid) to become an American Citizen! What the hell did I do wrong????? I should have just sat around and waited for the Citizenship to be thrown at me while being supported by US tax dollars. This whole amnesty crap absolutely infuriates me! It is just a ploy to get gratitude votes for Obama and his crew of minions.

Why didn't the people of Nevada do their job and get rid of Reid! (I know I'll get flack for that comment...) Obviously, Reid's scare did nothing to put him on the right track. As long as Reid's still in a leadership position, we'll keep getting bills presented for "stuff" we don't want. I am opposed to front door amnesty, back door amnesty, side door amnesty, through the chimney amnesty and out of the basement amnesty. Obviously, Reid doesn't understand positions like mine.
