Your true Americans were burning cities down and murdering other Americans while touting socialism. Legal immigrants were not. Your True Americans are raiding conservative homes/terrorizing peaceful demonstrators and setting up false flags and murdering innocent bystanders. Funny how none of these things are done by legal immigrants. I guess they were too busy working.
Maybe not but they still should not be able to hold elected office. And how do you know it wasn’t immigrants? Think about this one branden gives them amnesty all the illegals magically become legal - what’s that do to your argument?
Amnesty doesn't magically grant citizenship. Amnesty is forgiving the crime of coming into this country illegally. They don't get citizenship, but they can start the process to try and get resident status, then naturalization.
This is what my biggest problem with some folks here; generalizing any group of people or individuals with only a surface categorization is illogical and ignorant. All classifications should be based on merit and individual behavior and actions. I don't look at illegal aliens as immigrants. They are criminals that entered the country illegally, thereby committing a crime. There must be penance attached to any criminal act. They are not anywhere in the same class as immigrants. We have allowed them to manipulate the language to morph illegal alien into illegal immigrant. Thus marginalizes and blurs the line to make illegal immigrants and immigrants as close cousins. They are not and we should only ever use the term illegal alien or criminal invader. This all being said, I believe we should have a process for processing illegal aliens. Instead of the expense of hunting them down and deporting them. We should declare a period of registration where they can come forward register themselves, be given a registration number, an ID card and a 7 year probation. They would be completely ineligible for social benefits and would be required to be employed or be actively seeking employment. During the 7 year probation period any criminal act that is more serious than a non-violent misdemeanor is grounds for removal of registered status and immediate deportation. If they ever return, they are placed into a work camp and treated as prisoners for a period of time before they are deported again. The work camps would perform labor to benefit taxpayers as penance for breaking the law at the border. If the re-enter the country again illegally, then they are given a life sentence of hard labor. The ones that make it to 7 years with model behavior would be granted a green card. They can then start the process of naturalization after the prerequisite years required to obtain such, excluding any time on probation.
