Keep in mind more REPUBLICANS support amnesty for illegals (mccain anyone?)

More Republicans support amnesty for illegals than who? Martians? Back up your statement with facts. More than who?

BTW. Ignorance: the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.

There's the definition for you. If the shoe fits...

Wear it.

The states with conservatives who enforce laws to protect thier state from the flood of illegals will get fewer and fewer illegals, while those who pass no such laws will be flooded. Great news for liberals, as now they will have to pay for the education, healthcare, and housing for the illegals, which is exactly what they had hoped for.

whoa...whoa. What law bans ethinic studies? you just cant make a claim like that and not back it up. Who is banning ethinic studies?

The difference between legals and illegals
1. Legals actually bother to apply for a VISA

3. Legals Use their own Green cards and SSN's.
4. Legals actually pay taxes on their wages.
5. Legals respect this country enough to obey our laws.
6. Legals don't need to skulk in the shadows like criminals.
7. Legals tend to appreciate this country and try to assimulate, not change it to suit their own needs.
8. Many if not most legals detest illegals.
What about those that have done the right things and clerical errors make aliens out of status? By the rhetoric used, "illegal is illegal", they would be placed in the same category.

The only criteria that radical left amnesty democratic politicians have toward MS13 gang members is 'will they be future democratic voters if amnestied?'. I don't believe that anyone would ever accuse an amnestied MS13 gang member of being a republican voter.

What bill currently calls for amnesty? The only amnesty I'm aware of was in 1986 by Ronald Reagan.

It is called CIR by the pro-illegals and amnesty by the anti-illegals. Either way the illegals will be allowed to remain in this country. The difference in terminology doesn't mean squat to the bottom line.

There seems to be more to it than that. In '86 all you had to do was show up basically. CIR requires fines and good standing for a number of years.

Is it your position that anything short of deportation or jail is amnesty? If so, why?

You really think there isn't a substantial amount of immigrants in the Bay Area? Here's a reply you and the rest should be able to understand: "DURR"
The ignorance from the left camp is amazing as well. You can have a few more to take care of and perhaps when you personally start to choke on your own liberalisim, then you will get it. Hope property taxes finally go through the roof in CA.

Denied is denied. Our country does not owe any not even 1 applicant anything other than consideration.
If they were denied and entered illegally, over stayed a VISA then they are an illegal. There are options other than violating our laws.
By your argument: I apply for a loan. Through a clerical error or I am a victim of ID theft by an illegal my credit turns up bad and I am denied.
I should be allowed to simply rob the bank because it wasn't my fault that my credit was bad?
And yes it is comparable given the expense of illegals to this country.
The tax fraud alone makes it comparable.
