- I don't believe a path to citizenship happens fast enough to be considered amnesty 2. I never said that 3. How would do either instant amnesty or slow-mo amnesty (path to citizenship) WITHOUT regulation, exactly? Isn't it inherently a regulating process because you're taking UNregulated (not in the system) people and sorting them into the system? 4. of course legalizing immigrants would affect the people here. The idea is that it would be a net positive for both immigrants and citizens.
DACA started just on the children and then morphed into DAPA. Comprehensive Immigration Reform is nothing but blanket amnesty. All any of this will do is lower everyone's wages and then start the cycle all over again.
Immigration of any kind is unsustainable.
Okay let's see, you threw out the two acronyms you knew, said "no it's all just amnesty" (ignoring the fact that comprehensive means sending more aid to central america, securing the border, rewriting the categories to make it easier for specialist and seasonal migrants to get visas but harder for unskilled and temp jobs, a compromise between dems wanting to broadening family/chain migration and gop wantings some new merit system, establishing a citizenship triage list that fast tracks citizenship for superdreamers and faster-than-now track for the rest, increasing student exchange programs, and allows all immigrants on the public option), then made a generic "muh jerbs" and a "nothing ever changes"
very convincing
Immigration ruins both countries - the one being left and the one they are moving too.
