[Vision2020] Path to Citizenship

[Rosemary Huskey]

Wayne,

 

How do you feel about the old British laws that allowed children to be hung
for stealing a loaf of bread?

Do you love the law, or do you love justice?  Never mind, I think I know.
As for the word you and your Faux News buddies are so fond of using, I'm
thinking that you probably can't show your ancestors immigration papers -
and neither can I.  So, we are all aliens together, aren't we? Unless, of
course, you are a member of the Nez Perce Nation - and we both know you
aren't.

Scott,

 

I'll admit that I'm a bit dogmatic on the subject and want the law, as it
currently exists enforced, THEN we can talk about reform. How can we
possibly welcome anyone to be a new citizen when the very very first act
they commit upon entry into the US is a crime?

 

Section 1325 in Title 8 of the United States Code, "Improper entry of
alien", provides for a fine, imprisonment, or both for any immigrant who:

1.     enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place
other than as designated by immigration agents, or

2.     eludes examination or inspection by immigration agents, or

3.     attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a
willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a
material fact.

- Immigration laws allowing a path to citizenship for current undocumented

This one is very complicated given at least a triple negative whammy to
Republicans.
1) Business owners who have Republicans in their back pockets want a steady
stream of lower than minimum wage workers
2) Most of these undocumented workers are non-white and thus upon receiving
citizenship will most likely vote against Republicans
3) Republican constituency is heavily against anyone of a different color
than 'red-necked' having full rights of citizenship and voting

For Democrats, the strategy is pretty straight forward
1) Give undocumented workers citizenship
2) Get them to the polls

My simple solution for undocumented workers is:
1) Document them
2) Lead them to the USCIS but don't force them to drink

The United State has a long, rich history of immigration and my prediction
is that 'status quo' will prevail.
