Bill--

You sound like the voice of sweet reason.

However:

"The line should form in the home country"--are you implying all illegal immigrants should return to their home countries? If that's your plan, good luck in even getting them to come out of the shadows. With your approach, if I were an illegal immigrant, I wouldn't. Would you?

That's why the only practical and reasonable solution is to offer them a path to citizenship--and I've already listed the criteria in the Senate bill--it's not a free ride.


And I'm still waiting for citation of an immigrant group which has not enriched the US--are you saying the majority who came for Costa Rica and Nicaragua were criminals? Proof needed--which is not the same as a few horrible examples.
