Kuhner has a morning show on WRKO in Boston. Very lively.

Size matters. And demographics counts.

Mexicans illegally in the USA are not immigrants, they are economic migrants, most are happy and proud to be Mexicans and simply want to be allowed to work in the USA with dignity and to be able to travel back and forth to Mexico as they wish. They could care less about US sovereignty issues and believe that the borderline is illegitimate. Most are content remaining Mexican citizens and do not really wish to be US citizens. The only people who want to make all Mexicans US citizens are the Democrats and their allies, the very liberal ethnic and immigrant advocacy groups who organize and operate in ethnic and immigrant communities. The Democrats and their allied groups recognize that most illegal aliens are poor generally uneducated people who earn low wages and need access to all sorts of social service, benefit and welfare programs to survive in high cost of living America. In return for those people´s prospective votes the Democrats and their allies will promise all sorts of rights, benefits, and services that the Republicans could never out bid and remain the party of small government. If the Republicans go along with any sort of path to citizenship amnesty, that by the way has never been offered before in the history of immigration law, the Republican share of the Hispanic vote may well go up a few points, but the Democrats will get 10 million or more new foreign born voters as a result of such a liberal Amnesty. Bottom line it will be curtains for the Republicans who will have committed long-term political suicide, who will be completely unable to win future national elections after the Democrats flip Arizona, Florida, and Texas to politically resemble what California is today.

It´s not amnesty when you have to apply, pay the back taxes, pay a fine (I suggest 3000-5000, and I´d call it an application fee), pass background check, and then be issued a green card.
Then, you´d be on probation for 5 years.
Only then can you then apply for citizenship, which puts you at the back of the line, and another 10+ year wait.

It would be wise for legal American citizens to brush up on their Spanish lingo.

Sorry #4 - Rewarding lawbreakers with the opportunity of citizenship (even with a price tag) is amnesty. Under no circumstances should we be offering citizenship to illegals.

Those republicans who vote for this will lose big time in 2014.

Interesting comment on Rubio.

"a pathway to legalized status for 11 million to 20 million illegal aliens."

That´s a big difference. In other words, they have no clue how many.

#4, What is the enforcement trigger if they do not pay their back taxes? None. They will STILL get that green card and access to freebies of all sorts. Second, they are not in any sort of line. They STAY here and thereby are jumping ahead of everyone doing it legally. Even Rubio is lying (sorry) when he said they won´t have access to Obamacare.

#4, Most illegal aliens do not have the thousands of dollars that you say they should pay in a fine or an application fee. That will never happen, as the Democrats will insert a waiver of such a fine or fee for low income people applying for amnesty in whatever legislation they vote on.

The paying back taxes factor that you mention, also will never happen, as most illegal aliens because of their low incomes and large numbers of dependents many times fraudulently claimed do not have any bottom line tax liability, and the the only reason they file a tax return is to collect a tax refund along with as many tax credits as they possibly can.

Every legal alien must routinely submit to fingerprinting and a background investigation before they are allowed to enter the USA for permanent residence.

So you can see that the supposed hoops that you laid out amount to nothing, and this whole deal amounts to nothing more then a massive amnesty, no matter what the politicians call it. Don´t feel bad, that´s what the politicians always do with contentious issues like amnesty, as they have to try to fool as many people as possible to get their amnesty passed.

Blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, liberal women, college girls......this is the core of the lefty party. The United states of blacks, hispanics, homosexuals, liberal women and college girls! That sure isnt ME!

Semper Paratus

11-20M? BS. More like 100M+ when you add in all the relatives that come with 11-20M. That´s an extra 100M demonrat voters that will vote this country into oblivion.
