    The amnesty all by its lonesome won't do squat. It's not the key to my plan (such as it is).

    The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

      We already tried blanket amnesty. It failed and only encouraged more illegal immigration. I fail to see why it would work this time.


      Because it's not a permanent solution, but it is a temporary one. Combine it with a long-term solution (just let them in legally from now on) and suddenly your illegal immigrant problem disappears.

        BTW, how would it only be technically unfair to people who came over legally as opposed to blatantly unfair?
        Because it doesn't bother me as much as it apparently bothers you.

          DD, they could have immigrated illegally. They made a choice. They need to stop whinning.

            Ah well. I shouldn't be overly concerned about Arrian's proposal. It's not a practical proposal and wouldn't fly politically.

              Really? 59% of Americans actually believe that illegal aliens should not be deported. Compare that to 24% who want them all deported.

                I dunno about practicality (that's precisely what I'm aiming for), but you're probably right about it being a political non-starter.

                  I wasn't aware that being against deportation equated being for full amnesty.

                    I dont think the "let em stay, just dont let them work, or send their kids to school, until they are so desperate they leave" is all that popular either, though some pundits seem to like it.

                      They believe there should be conditions to being made full citizens. I don't know what those conditions are. I just assumed that's what you guys were talking about. How am I wrong?

                        LotM: I dunno. Punishing the people that employ illegals seems to be the most humane method of getting people to leave if that is the aim. Without a job the school issue you mention becomes irrelevent.

                        I'd be for letting people stay myself as I said provided they paid somesort of penalty for breaking the law in the first place.

                          I'm talking about making them meet conditions. He's talking about an unconditional amnesty.

                            What type of penalty do you envision?

                              I was wrong then. Actually other polls say that more Americans are against full amnesty.

                                If we're going to talk amnesty, which I'm not particularly for, amnesty would only include those illegals who turn themselves in are documented as being here.
                                If a person won't be documented in order to stay, that raises a red flag to me.
