Illegal Immigrants: Path to Citizenship?

The Charles and Linda Wilson Dialogue on Domestic Issues

Estimates of the number of illegal immigrants in the United States range from 11 million to more than 20 million. Most recommendations for immigration reform center on the issue of a path to citizenship for these people. Opponents say this is amnesty, a strategy which proved ineffective in previous immigration legislation. Supporters say legalization is both a necessity and a moral obligation. In the second annual Wilson Dialogue, Dr. Michael Olivas, William B. Bates Distinguished Chair of Law at the University of Houston, and Dr. Vernon Briggs, Professor Emeritus in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University, will discuss the issue of a path to citizenship.

@DimebagCFH4Life Better, cheaper & more logical then that> Mexico needs to be HELD ACCOUNTABLE for not taking care of their OWN citizens ?

If they DID, there wouldn't be a NEED for all these Cops, Border Patrol, vehicles, walls, fences, weapons, gasoline, maintenance benifits & retirement. Why not put direct political pressure on this 3rd world country, or threaten to trnafer out factories THERE to China ..

HMMM Amesty makes more sense than THIS ? Doesn't sound like it. Now what ?

the same folks who want to deport these people don't want any more government spending....we can't deport without spending, and can't close the border without spending...

Amnesty isn't popular, but it would get them paying taxes....and that would bring in revenue.....but hey, why bother with logic?
