We had 6 years in mind. Should it be 3 and 3 or should it be 2 and back and 2 and back for a year and back? We finally accepted this compromise to try to make the workers temporary. that they would not get roots here and not return to their home country. that when we are working within the structure of the immigration laws. we have to accommodate the 12 million because we cannot deport them. We would like to identify those who are criminals. who are not contributing. who do not have roots and deport them. if we can identify them in numbers that we can handle. Then there was the issue of trying hard to avoid the characterization of amnesty.
Identified stereotypes
Generalization about undocumented immigrants not contributing or having roots.
