I disagree. What we have now is lawlessness and disorder. not a de facto amnesty. It has been suggested this bill is better than rounding up 12 million undocumented immigrants. so the only option is to confer upon them the greatest gift America can give a human being. which is American citizenship. The American people can see through that argument in a heartbeat. There are plainly other options available. somewhere in the middle between those two extremes. Then we have been told unless we agree to what some have rightly identified as indistinguishable from the 1986 amnesty. we cant get border security or a secure means of identifying legal workers on the job. I ask: Why should security be made a hostage to those demands? Employers have been told the only way they can get legal workers to fill in labor shortages is the present bill.
