No, we do not 'precisely' agree. The line 'should' form IN the home country...but even if the line forms here for convenience, I do NOT agree that **ALL** illegals should be made legal OR citizens. Blanket amnesty is just begging for problems.

The requirements should be made fairly tight and TOTALLY clear....a working command of English, a work permit based on skills, not just a desire to leave their own country, a relatively clean criminal record, regular check-ins at a relevant office to report address and status changes..(marriage, kids..etc..)

Yes, I am quite aware that enforcing any set of rules will disappoint many, and that it is not easy to define a set of rules which covers all contingencies...but I would allow a case-by-case review & exception process...IF it were understood that decisions were to be followed and accepted.

    Go to some of the small communities in Georgia that were noted in CNNs re-play of a 2004 report and see why I say that we must have something more than the chaos now in place.
