How stupid can you be , if you are not legal the get out.

It didn't take long for fact that CBS's exposing how US construction workers existed by after having their jobs taken from them and given to illegals, and how untold millions of them and other citizens like them and their children had become homeless, that the left simply didn't care, and wanted the story jammed down between the cracks. THe left don't give a damn about the unemployed, and the fact that the long term unemployed, and their children become homeless, suffer from hunger and other privations that result. This is a deliberate economic genocide against US citizens, black, brown and white, a glaring example of the left's insisting on a plantation slavery state. Only those who profit them, will be allowed to work and survive.

Thank you Mr. Beck for having the guts to take the principled, ethical position. Firstly these people aren't, "immigrants" they did not enter lawfully. Secondly, Obama's illegal, illegal alien amnesty is chock full of so many loopholes, there is no requirement to hold these purported, "kids" to documenting any claims they make, because Obama and Napolitano want these illegal aliens to be able to only have to claim, they entered the US before the age of 15, they aren't required to show a birth certificate to prove their actiual age, they only have to claim they went to school here, or what have you. There is no requirement they document they were brought here by their parents, and many came here DELIBERATELY on their own. Nor will people with criminal records, or even violent criminal records be removed. It's up to the discretion of whatever left wing, open borders govt employee is rubber stamping their application. The vast majority of illegal aliens ARE between the ages of 16 and 30. When Napolitano was asked what was to stop the collusion between a government employee and illegal alien of 45 just making the claim he or she was 30. There's no requirement they go to college, or get an education, it's a rubber stamp for a work permit to take jobs from US citizens.

If the President insists on breaking the law like the illegal immigrants have done, then the least he can do is to reduce the other green cards available at that time, to compensate for it. See how many outside the US complain vehemently because they can't get a worker card.

It's a shame that those amnestied were brought here as children, but unless they want to join our military, of their own free will, they should not be given this silver spoon to never be deported. Wrong is wrong. Just ask any American who has run out of unemployment, and can no longer take care of their families. For every 1 illegal that actually makes a contribution to society, how many others are there that just suck off the teet of the rest of us tax-paying Americans?

Another point is this: What is Mexico's illegal immigration policy? Why doesn't ours equate to theirs?

It must be blissful to be able to ignore the dismal effects of endless population growth.
