The first would benefit America and Americans but the second one would benefit foreigners. Guess we know where they both stand, don't we?

How much you want to bet Obama and his band of thieves are already working on finding a way to stop this from happening.

Remember, they sued the American people in Arizona even knowing the vast majority were for the passing of their bill on the criminal terrorist illegals.

Watch them closely, they are already working on finding a way to screw over the majority once again.

Do you think Obama went to college to learn the constitution? No, he did not. He studied it to learn how to screw it over.

This one law change will make the world of difference to illegals coming over here.
But we can see that the WH will have none of it. Speaks volumes.

I'd say they don't even want legal residency (and all the rules and red tape THAT entails), they just want as you said the legal right to remain here exactly as they are at present.

Can you see former illegals obeying the LAW that says they have to notify the USCIS within 10 days of their moving for example? Oh, and shouldn't they ALSO be forced to have sponsors as most legal immigrants do? Then there's the police and medical checks - guess we'll waive that too......

There's also that sticky little point of a legal resident being eligible for deportation in the event of committing a felony.

Guess we'll have one set of rules for them and one for the rest of us .........oh wait, nevermind, we already DO.

I would hope that those granted amnesty would have to wait at least 10-20 years before being eligible for citizenship.

You don't know that until we see a bill. Given the way Obama operates we'll also have to pass it before we can see what's in it.
