Illegals "on the path to citizenship" ..... isn't that a bankrupt frame?

[Stinky The Clown]

To put illegal immigrants "on a path to citizenship" is to create a new class of immigrant, is it not? One cannot blithely say they would extend this or that right or privilege to immigrants "on a path to citizenship" without defining what that path is ...... and in essence call for the creation of a whole new class of immigrants. A SuperLimbo if you will.

Lets not bullshit each other on this point, okay?

1. It's the Yellow Brick Road to citizenship.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...;-)

2. One question I've never heard anybody discuss

Do all immigrants (legal or illegal) really WANT citizenship? Or would a lot of illegal immigrants be content with resident alien status giving them the ability to work here legally, without the rights and privileges of citizenship? Not sure I like the idea of creating a legal but non-citizen class of residents in this country, but legal workers who could organize, seek redress from law enforcement, etc. I think could improve labor conditions for everyone.

3. I was talking to a customer last week...

His ex-wife moved back to Mexico City.

When I asked him how the economy was. He said it was fine and replied that it wasn't too hard to get a job.

The illegal immigration debate is pure bullshit.
