From most of what I've read here, we aren't that far apart on any of the immigration issues except how to deal with the illegals already here. And, even on that issue, I think most of us agree that a huge "round up" for forcable deportation is not only impractical, it would be counter productive. I think we can also agree that they are breaking the law by being here, and that they can't be simply forgiven and ignored. Which leaves the question, how to deal with them? To me, simply asking them to pay a $5k fine and then be suddenly "legal" isn't a very good option. Americans living in Mexico are required, every three years I think, to return to the USA for 90 days before reapplying for another residence visa. There are whole communities in Mexico that do just that. That seems pretty workable to me. I think that to come into our country, a person should be required to ask permission from OUTSIDE the country. A limited work visa should be reasonably easy to obtain. Counter point?
