The plan would include amnesty for some, restitution and even an additional border wall construction

https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/02-8-2022/gop-immigration-plan/

The proposal operates on the assumption that the majority of the undocumented population “may not be looking for a citizenship-or-nothing deal, but would likely be content with the opportunity to live in the U.S. legally,” according to a summary of the plan, citing when the Reagan administration sought to offer a pathway to citizenship to almost 3 million undocumented immigrants in 1986, but only a third of those who were eligible accepted the offer.
 
Why not just try this again?

If you look at the proposal, much of it is a repeat of that legislation...with some additional items. This one gives amnesty for dreamers while proposing a pathway for others here that are undocumented.

Well, remember what happened to W's immigration-reform bill: It was killed by a grassroots backlash of xenophobia within the GOP.

Has the party -- the party on the ground, the party of voters -- evolved past that yet? Probably not, it seems to have gone backwards.

Yah, I'm not saying that this legislation has a chance in hell, but it does a good job at aiming for compromise head-on by catering to both R and D agendas.

And then it hits on what is mostly the issue to begin with - asylum case bottlenecks, which would have a profound impact on the constant stream of "caravans" as well as the overabundance of people released while waiting for trial. I think if you address expediency here, you'll cut down on repeat offenders who only do so to game the antiquated system.
 
With varying levels of welcome and NIMBY, we need a more local process of approval or denial. I thought of making immigration a state process, but then we would need hard borders between states. Arguments will continue until there are new national borders and probably some wars between states.

Asylum claims require court action.

State courts wouldn't work because it's a federal decision
 
Secure the border first and foremost so we can put an end to this illegal immigrant bullshit. Nobody who came here illegally should ever be allowed to vote. If they want that as a “right,” then they should leave and come back the legal way.

Their way is legal...just not legal the way that you want.

But good on you for flat out rejecting a decent compromise because you don't understand the Geneva convention nor the US's policy surrounding it.
 
How is a secure border “Nazism,” or was that sarcasm?

It's not, but try telling a totally NOT open borders "progressive" who supports sanctuary for illegals and runs around chanting "no borders, no wall, no USA at all!!" but is totally not supporting open borders.

Compromise is fun. So is flat out bullshit.

Yea it's also super unlikely at this point.

It's not bullshit and you know it, that's why it triggers you so much.

You're so full of shit your text looks brown from here.

But good on your mimicking the party bullshit....it works on every useful idiot so well.
 
It is bullshit to say the Dems are for open borders. Whoever is chanting things like that does not speak for the party.

No, it's not.

That's why you do everything you can to undermine not only our physical international border but also our democratically enacted immigration and customs laws.

:)

That's also why (D) activist run around supporting open borders positions with official (D) support,.... anything else would be RACIST!!!

The fuck you talking about? 2. MILLION came in last year! If the LibTards are NOT in favor of open borders, then why haven’t they shut it down?

You say some of the strangest things!

They came here illegally. They are illegally using services they aren’t entitled to, they should NEVER be allowed to vote. If you illegally crossed into Canada or Mexico, you wouldn’t be allowed to vote nor would you receive government services. Fuck you and your dumb shot “compromise!” That isn’t going to fly! Reagan said that the amnesty bill he signed, which required the border to be secure BEFORE amnesty was granted, was the biggest mistake of his Presidency. We got duped by the LibTards. Not happening again.

Secure the fucking border!!! Conservative priority number fucking ONE! Once THAT is done, then and ONLY then came you talk about the rest of your touchy-feely bullshit for lawbreakers! Go fuck your fat self, Mr. Mayor!

Look, we all know, including you, that anyone who invokes "Rule of law!" in connection with immigration is not motivated by any respect for legality, but only by xenophobia.

“Xenophobia??” These people are breaking Federal Immigration Law! What part of that don’t you get? How about you break a Federal Law and see what happens. Why do they get a free pass? Why the fuck do you not care? Do you HATE Americans?
 
Americans will learn someday that there can be no compromise with a party that supports Fascism. Since we can't compromise with the states solidly Republican...the only solution is to cut them free....or cut us free. If we don't...violence will only increase. They aren't worth fighting for.

No, that's the lie you tell to dismiss people who aren't also trying to undermine the rule of law and the nation proper as you are.
