Isn’t it strange, only time they are against it is when there is something done to legalize them. They don’t care if the issue is dissolved. Hence keep the labor cheap.

Lets look at way it is NOW, these undocumented immigrants are working here, they are living here. Nothing is going to change that. Yes there may be .00001% deportation to show on cable TV but nothing else CAN change. It’s not practical to deport 12+ million (Never gonna happen). So why not make them legal. This way they can invest money here rather than send it back to their country. They will participate in paying taxes. I do agree there should be a legal way to come here. Something should have been done after the ’86 reform. But we HAVE TO ACCEPT what’s done is done and repair the system and move forward.

These anti-immigrant need to go to wal-mart at night see, 80% of the customers are immigrants especially hispanics. They have their carts full of stuff. They spend money, that keeps the economy going and stable.

There are too many positive thing that could happen if the reform passes. The housing industry will gain most of its value back in first couple of years. Economy will stabalize, business will go up, Jobs will be created. Remember Jobs are created when people spend money.

Only people who will win if the Reform is not passed are the people who in their hearts believe “We did not forgive for people who did wrong comming here, whoooah!” I do understand their feelings, but, its the RIGHT thing to pass Reform for America. (period)

Besides Triggering the forclosure crash of our Banking System, and putting a massive hole in our “Real Estate Bubble”, these Immigrants now vacated dwellings have made Phoenix approx: 30% overbuilt, causing Construction and Growth to completely Halt. And causing Arizona to have the highest number of lost Construction related jobs in the entire Country.

Yes this combined with the loss to our Country of these “Humans” Hard Labor, certainly has caused this Recession!

The Recession started in Decembere 2007, a litle ahead of the January 2008 Start of Deportations, because many smart Immigrants packed up and began leaving a few months ahead of the up coming Law, and the start of their hard earned belongings, Vehichles, cash, and even homes being confiscated by Sheriffs Deputies, and the illgotton Booty used for things such as; (in Arizona), Sheriffs Vacations, and Large Amusement Park Parties!

Please Research the Facts.

What is being proposed is not amnesty. It’s a fine, background check, and a pass to the back of the line to get yourself legalized.

E-verify punishes workers. I’d like to see the weight fall on the bosses who cynically exploit vulnerable people. Strong and status-blind enforcement of existing laws about wages, hours, and safety standards — and of which are routinely flouted — would undo a lot of the perverse incentive to hire the undocumented.

287g makes a huge mess of local law enforcement. I live in the barrio. When the local cops are harassing immigrants, respectable folks stay indoors and the gangstas party. I do *not* feel safer!

Legal presence for all taxpayer funded services. Make me laugh! Do you know that legal immigrants — here after years of waiting and thousands of dollars of expense — cannot access these services until they’ve been here for 5 years? Here in Massachusetts, a newly arriving immigrant is required to have health insurance from the day of arrival. Said immigrant is barred from accessing the state’s affordable health insurance programs unless they’ve been here 5 years. Choices left? Free care (guess who pays?) or a very inadequate insurance that’s considered “affordable” for people who make 36.000 a year or more.

Chorus: The system as it exists today is only for the rich. This is wrong. We need reform, urgently!
