Hiya Beez, you don't know me but you are one of my favorite posters here.
Is crossing the border a felony now?
Maybe a "grace period" would be more in order. Give them citizenship, but do not allow them to vote for 10 years.
Since they came illegally, treat them as felons.
If we remove any political motivation...
1. Complete amnesty. -WTF? Yes. Complete amnesty. For everyone. *ta-daaa!*
am·nes·ty [am-nuh-stee] Show IPA noun, plural am·nes·ties, verb, am·nes·tied, am·nes·ty·ing.
noun
1.
a general pardon for offenses, especially political offenses, against a government, often granted before any trial or conviction.
2.
Law. an act of forgiveness for past offenses, especially to a class of persons as a whole.
3.
a forgetting or overlooking of any past offense.
BUT! 2. Since they came illegally, treat them as felons. No voting rights. No rights to own a firearm. Can't serve on a jury.

You and I both know that will never happen.

Amnesty is nothing more than taking poor people who came here illegally and using them as a political tool.
I'm just removing the political motivation and making it more about treating people fairly.
If they came to the US illegally, that makes them criminals. Grant amnesty but make them pay for their past transgressions.
And who's SS did that belong too? I have a good friend who had her identity stolen by an illegal some years back. It wasn't pretty..!
GREAT worker....but he is using a fake SS
