[HappyTexan]

What will happen is amnesty and mass infusion of new applications into our social welfare programs.
And it will be done before 2012 to guarantee votes for a re-election.

Not in this recession.

Its always a requirement that the immigrant applying for legalization prove that he or she has been here for a number of years and can also back it up with paystubs or other forms of verified documents. Its not an easy ticket.

As I've always said, fines, learn English, prove you have been working.

Such a path will still leave 90% in the shadows.


As it should! Legal Immigrants shouldn't get trampled by these people just because they showed up.
