text: What you had under 8 years of George Bush is amnesty. Illegals didnt have to do anything. The progressive pro active method of giving the ones who work and stay out of trouble, giving them a path to citizenship, or simply a way to work and better themselves without constant fear of losing everything is a better approach. It also shines the light on the 5 million who aren't desirable. Illegals have been a problem for 90 years over 15 presidents. Citizens wish they werent here, but they are. Creating a solution that requires them to stay out of trouble, work and pay taxes, get a drivers license solves a lot of the issue. Identifying the 5-6 million who are not the problem, and shines the light on the 5-6 million that are. It takes half the illegal population and gives them a reason to pay taxes, act right and not cause trouble. That's what we want. And if they do they can pay a fine and earn a limited citizenship.
