When legislators talk about comprehensive legislation in regards to illegal immigration, they are talking about giving amnesty to the estimated twelve to thirty-five+ millions of people who have broken our laws, the first one being that of entering the country without our permission.

Somehow, comprehensive legislation sounds better than amnesty. Most people know what amnesty means, and it is opposed by the majority of Americans who, when polled, by an approximately 80% factor do not want amnesty. Instead, they want our borders secure and employers of illegal aliens punished.

They do, however, understand “guest worker” to mean that some workers may come here to work in available jobs, but must go back home, and do not enjoy the benefits that a citizen does.

As used by some of our Senators and Congresspeople, however, “guest worker” is interchangeable with amnesty.

The new Democrat Congress, joined by some prominent RINOs, is poised to grant amnesty to the millions already here and grant full citizen benefits to them and to their families, making the estimated numbers grossly underestimated.

This bill will be presented soon, as early as next week, as it is a priority with the Democrat Congress, led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Republicans in the House of Representatives in the last Congress heard from their constituents and passed a commonsense law that put the safety of American citizens first, by requiring the building of a barrier on the southern border and the penalizing of employers who act as magnets for the illegal aliens coming across that border.
