Against amnesty! There is a legal way to come to this country and everyone should follow the same rules.
Secure the borders, pass the fair tax and watch the illegals leave. |

I am against anyone that doesn't speak English that comes to America and mooches off our Government by not paying taxes when all the Americans have to i am against anyone that comes to our country and gets free medical when there are Americans that die everyday because they cannot go to a DR because they are poor, i am against our country allowing this and not Penalizing companies that hire illegal immigrants, when there are millions of Americans that are in need of jobs. We need to take care of our own. I am against then being allowed to drive on our highways with no valid drivers license and no insurance and end up getting into accidents while they drive intoxicated and killing innocent people. |

Against..It's rewarding an illegal act. It is no fair to those whom chose to emigrate to the U.S. the legal way. Also were does it stop ? What if amnesty is granted, what do you do with the people who illegally emigrate to the U.S. in the future ? |

Against because of breaking the law. They also buy and use identifications from stolen IDs in order to stay here. They know it is wrong or they would not sneak it. Now we have another problem here in Houston with the coyotes fighting for territory. There was a gunfight with people killed who were fighting because of smuggling illegals in. |

Against....
It's been done before in 1976 and 1986, and both times americans were promised that the problems would be fixed(yet they were'nt and the problems just got worse)
I think it's time we start enforcing existing laws........ |

I am against amnesty. It would naturalize millions of people who do not respect U.S. law. Also, it would show the rest of the world that we do not respect our laws either. It would teach foreigners that it is acceptable to break our laws and expect to get away with it. |

Very much against. Why reward law breakers? |

Absolutely 100% against. There is a legal process to follow to enter this country and it should be followed not changed to satisfy the people who don't/won't follow it or the bleeding heart liberals. HR 1645 should be thrown in the trash. This bill is simply a legal process to sell our future down the river to satisfy corporate and political greed. |

I'm against amnesty. We tried this already in the 80's with Reagan, it didn't work. We have an even bigger problem now than we did then.
I wouldn't mind a guest worker program....... BUT the borders need to be sealed first and the government needs to prove that they are serious about supporting our immigration laws before we enact a worker program. |

Nope, No reform, No amnesty. We have very good immigration laws, and we do not reward laws breakers. We need enforcement. |

No amnesty. Enforce the laws and send the law breakers back to where they came from. |

I am in favor of immigration reform.. LEGAL immigration reform.. but against illegal immigration (and against amnesty), I don't think people are taking into account all of the free programs our tax dollars are used to pay for illegals (food stamps, WIC, HUD, medical bill spin downs, Medicaid. etc..) but they never pay any taxes to help fund them.. who loses? WE do. |

I am against amnesty for the illegal aliens....unless we're going to offer amnesty for the legal citizens of our own country who've commited crimes...and we're obviously not! We can't even get amnesty for the border patrol men who were just doing their jobs and are now imprisoned. |

What I am in favor of and what I call reform is actually stopping the problem. NEITHER Bush's bill or the STRIVE act go there at all. BOTH want the new numbers on top, while glossing over the unimpeded stream still coming illegally.
Our schools are failing and our hospitals are closing and our insurance premiums are sky rocketing.
What about the rights of the people who BELONG here?
Where is that visa exit tracking system requirement as a trigger?
Why doesn't EITHER bill fund the full wall voted in overwhelmingly before the elections?
Where are the funds for more immigration judges?
Where is the citizen suit provision allowing citizens to force the government to enforce a law they want to enforce just about as much as environmental laws (where citizen suit provisions have been in laws now for decades.)
Not only is the government not building trust, it is eroding any hope in trust we might have had.
The rest, after major screening, NO twice illegal or gang members, is a matter of numbers. How will FAMILY of legalized immigrants not perpetuate the failure of our impacted schools? If Bush's family limit are adopted (and I think that is long overdue), how could the additional guest workers not be a problem? I agree that if they can't bring family and it is enforced, and if their employers must supply insurance, it would be better. However, as soon as Kennedy and unions throw that out the window, it is unworkable. Also, we need prevailing wage requirements so they don't undermine those here.
The status quo is not ok, and this adds more problems on top of it.
They aren't trying for a real solution. They are each trying to color a way to 'sell' their particular point, be it amnesty or slave labor. They are right that to us border security types it is really a numbers game once the inflow is solved, but they are treating us like idiots in what they are doing to pretend they have solved it.
And why is the fact that Mexico doesn't want the fence more important than the fact that Americans do want it? |

Yes to amnesty! for all..maybe not. But for those who are contributing to this country.... YES! |

In Favor.. Amnesty is not a reward, it is a pardon..
The violators did not have intent to break the law, they were compelled by their challenging duties to sustain their poor families in an ailing economy..
Illegal immigrants do not intend to burden the taxpayers, they would love to be productive members of a growing society.
If God can forgive us our trespasses we should be willing to forgive our trespassers..
Pardoning them helps them pay income tax which they are accused of avoiding..
Legalizing them saves the country's wealth being used to deport them and keep them away..
They are hard workers, they do not choose the jobs they come accross or demand better pay for those jobs.. |

I am in favor of a selective amnesty. "Enforcing the current laws" without any type of solution to the current people inside will only bring an even larger wave of illegal immigrants. Strict restrictions have proven to be a failure throughout the history of the country. The solution is in:
1) Securing the border and enforcing our laws
2) Use an eliminating process to keep only the illegal immigrants who pass certain standards, and legalize them.
3) Improve the current broken immigration system and reform it so that it is easier for immigrants to come into the country, while making sure that most of them will eventually return.
From the American point of view, the just thing to do is to enforce our laws and punish criminals. But the right thing to do is not always the most convenient for the country. We must do something that will make us move forward and maybe create a little guilt inside us, instead of feeling a sense of justice and be a failing nation. |

IM ILLEGAL AND IM IN FAVOR, NOT OF AN AMNESTY, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE UNFAIR, BUT I THINK PEOPLE THAT HAS BEEN HERE WITH NO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND WHILE LIVING IN AMERICA, SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE OF GET SOME KIND OF PERMIT TO STAY HERE LEGALY AND AFTER CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, GET TO BECOME CITIZEN, AS LONG AS THEY LEARN ENGLISH, AND OF COURSE I WOULD AGREE ON PAYING A FINE FOR COMING HERE ILLEGALY. |

I'm on the fence. If you're already here and making a valid contribution to society as an illegal immagrant, then you should get amnesty. If you're illegal and living off the social welfare illegally, through illegal means, then you should be prosecuted and deported. |

We're going to have to figure something out. But the key I think is flexibility and realism. Those people who are obsessed with kicking out all Mexicans just because it's against the law for them to be here are being unrealistic.
We need a way to control the flow of immigrants and make sure they aren't draining our economy. But, we should also use whatever benefits having the labor can bring. How many businesses would seriously collapse if all the illegals were deported today? |

i believe that the united states should give illegals who have good intentions their green card but they will have to pay taxes. |
