GOP and Democratic leaders agree on path to citizenship in immigration bill

They had better close the border first or the illegals will overwhelm the authorities and try to take all the freebies !!

Wishful thinking by Flanagan

jflanagan - Obviously you were listening to the Fox idiots instead of actually listening to the President today since he said he was pleased to see that the Senate plan was very much like his plan. Lets hope the House plan is also similar and then we can get on with the voting.

The President came out with his own "path to citizenship" which most Republicans and many Democrats will not support. Thus he has, in a selfish move, has probably derailed the bipartisan program introduced by Senator Schumer an the others.

Epraim the gophers below do not no what is actually happening as they watch the discredited Fox gop channel which fails to report any positive initiatives taken by Obama

Because President Obama has quadrupled the security forces on the border, introduced innovative technology like drones and deported more criminals than any previous President, we now have a zero, YES ZERO, net flow of undocumented aliens into this country for the first time since it became a concern. The GOP likes to TALK about securing the border but (as with cutting spending and lowering the yearly deficit) it took a Democrat to DO something about it. Now it is time to look to our ports and actually start securing those massive gaps in our security.

We will soon hear the dreaded word 'amnesty', and say those who came here illegally deserve nothing but arrest and deportation. Amnesty is also heard from time to time as something awarded to tax evaders, who parked their funds in far-away places hoping the IRS would never find them. To correct the problem and get some dollars back into the treasury, we provide 'amnesty' to these law breakers and allow them to pay less tan they would have if they filed properly. But these are good people, not like those uneducated strawberry pickers, of pool cleaners.

iriishgirl - How much work ethic do you think is required to pick vegetables and fruit at wages that are far below US minimum. How much work ethic does it take to plant trees and shrubs all day? How much work ethic does it take to sweat in a hot restaurant kitchen all day long for pennies. How much work ethic does it take to work three jobs just to feed your family? You are slandering those people that WE work the hardest, pay the least and offer the fewest benefits as having no work ethic. What can YOU say about the American citizens work ethic who will not do those jobs for any amount of money? Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, are the HARDEST working people in the country. Our country's economy would collapse without them.

Repugs are getting lesson from DEMS

This is a kick in the teeth to all of those who've come here legally. This is aiding and abeiting criminals. These politicians should be tried for this.

I voted for McCain as a Navy vet. However, how many Hispanics voted for J Mac. Of those 11 million Big John, how many will vote Republican. I would say that it will be just like the black vote, 99.9% will vote for the marxists just because of the entitlements. Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles should have been consulted.

It's good to see a bi-partisan approach,the GOP have reversed their immigrtion policy must to the chagrin of Irishgirl and the other racis posters.

I wish this kind of bipartisan support had existed in the mid-60s, when I wa discharged from 4 years of HONORABLE service in the Marine Corps, but such was not the casse. There was no easy path to citizenship for me or others veterans (including the one who served a year in Vietnam).I was photographed, finger printed and investigated for 6 weeks before my 'naturalization' was approved. Finally I was tested on U.S. history, government, the Constitution, including the Bill of rights - all these tests being in English.

I think we stole Texas California Colorado N Mexico. The republicans no long call them wet back now its citizen

"... undocumented Irish could gain ..." ... Of course the democans and republicrats could promise you all the moon, too. Count on them? LOL, the meskins are the big voting block, so who gets the gravy?
