The idea behind the bill is to give people who were under 16 when they entered the United States the opportunity to become legal residents. Those who have a GED or high school degree, have lived in the United States for at least five years, and are younger than 35 would be eligible for conditional legal status for six years. During that time, they would have to graduate from two years of college or honorably serve two or more years in the military. Then they would qualify for U.S. citizenship.
Participants would not be able to travel abroad for lengthy periods and would not qualify for federal Pell Grants to help pay for college. They also could not acquire criminal records.
I completely oppose it. It rewards illegal immigration and provides amnesty. I oppose it even for the military route. We shouldn't allow illegal foreign citizens from serving in our armed forces.
Followup-this is for people who where brought to the country by their parents(presumably). You have to have come to the country under the age of 16. Do you think it is right to block people whose parents committed he criminal acts from having a path to legal residence(I think citizens)?

Harry Reid is pushing this, and I am curious as to what your opinion on it is. I am going to split the question up into two parts, do you support it as described above, or would you support it if you had to go the military route, not the college route.
Poll options incoming, patients for my slow typing please.
I absolutely OPPOSE this only because harry Reid is tying it to the defense spending bill. What a ****ing piece of **** he is.
The CONCEPT...I actually support. i know the arguments...it rewards illegal immigration...OK...I get that. But the reality is we have 20-30 million illegal immigrants here and no real solutions. This type of solution would do a few things...one...encourage them to come forward, two, address the problem in a realsitic manner, and three it would quite possibly create some very solid contributors to our country.
Perfect in and of itself? I dont know enough about the specific legislation to say...but some type of a solution along these lines is going to HAVE to be found.
I oppose it. The last thing an illegal should be able to do is freely walk into a government office without getting deported. Our government is supposed to be catching and deporting intruders, not letting them walk freely into government offices. I do not want some illegal joining the military with a POG(pronounced pōg. Acronym for persons other than grunt, a non-infantry solder or non-infantry MOS marine. In other words civilians in soldiers clothing) MOS just to be able to jump ahead of the line in front of everyone else.

You have a really hilarious view of the military.
So you don't think service to a country you want to join should move you ahead of those who did not serve?

As it stands, non citizens can serve in our military and they receive a lot of benefits towards gaining citizenship not to mention all the other benefits serving garners. I've served with many such people and support it entirely.
I can't speak for James. But I think their first service to our country would be to respect our laws, be deported, and enter legally. Them breaking our laws and disrespecting legal immigrants is a disservice to our country.

I was unaware of this, though I suppose since I served with a couple Filipinos I should have been aware of it. Do you know the details of it?
