There seems to be something wrong when persons who break the law are rewarded ahead of others who followed the rules.

Those of us who are already contemplating an avalanche of people at the borders or a sudden surge in airline visitors, can make a difference? Your phone book has a list of Senators and Congressional leaders and you should contact them. We cannot hesitate anymore as more than a million legal immigrants arrive here annually, not counting the new illegal migrants and immigrants This maybe our last chance to send a fusillade of angry voices, that will stop the rising taxes to cater to foothold babies smuggled into America and the hundreds of billions of dollars—TRILLIONS OVER TIME--collected from us to pay for them and their families. We already are paying through the deadbeats, who think work as a sickness. We just cannot afford to pay for more poverty from other nations. The U.S. treasury is scraping the bottom of the barrel now, to cover our debts. ONLY in mass as one voice do we have a hope of this Congress not turning America into a balkanized, Socialist nation of tax and spend? Read the unnerving facts of Obama’s rule at Judicial Watch and not be intimidated by the leftist editorial in the mainstream newspapers and TV news.

We cannot afford to support the world’s poor anymore.
Only by the American public speaking out of moderate Liberals, Democrats, Republicans and the growing ranks of the TEA PARTY and demanding no backdoor amnesty, no Comprehensive Immigration Reform. It will only cause the encouragement of millions of more poverty stricken people reaching here and becoming a burden on our society. Before anything else we must secure our borders and track all visitors on airline flight arrival, which is not being accomplished now. President Obama is running our economy into the ground, as an Independent I personally desire like the majority of Americans no new taxes to pander to illegal aliens. THE 1986 AMNESTY WAS A TRAGIC JOKE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND IT WAS A COMPLETE AND UTTER FRAUDULENT BETRAYAL OF TAXPAYERS.

This letter beneath was in a blog, a knowledgeable official, that amplifies the corruption played on the American people in 1986.
This idea of "earned" legalization is a complete lie. Examples of "earning" complete citizenship include (1) "paying taxes" (2) "learning English" (3) "paying a fine" and (4) "going to the back of the line", etc.
But illegal aliens don't make much money, and therefore don't pay much in taxes. So that's silly to talk about.
As for the English requirement, we had that in the 1986 amnesty too, and they only had to go to a few classes and get a paper signed by the La Raza worker leading the class; there was no exam, no evidence that anyone actually learned English. And do you think O is going to deport people who don't learn how to conjugate their verbs? Ha!
The "paying a fine" thing was in past amnesties, and it's meant to look like a punishment. But the INS granted waivers for people who couldn't pay it. We'll see tons of waivers issued again, making this anything but a punishment. Heck, USCIS waives application fees too!
The "back of the line" is in their homeland, but they'll never have to go there under an amnesty. The idea is that if they are in the back of the line, they won't be jumping in front of those immigrants who are playing by the rules. Yet amnesty applicants will get a legal stay, work permits, drivers licenses, access to welfare, etc. so that they really aren't in the back of any line. They would absolutely get way ahead of people applying LEGALLY, and the U.S. will send the message that it's better to come illegally, and we'll see more illegal immigration. That's what happened after 1986.

I don't understand why Mr. Gutierrez (and that latin Cooper Anderson from Univision) keep talking as if Hispanics are some like-minded voting block whose energy a party can harness to their sole advantage. South Americans don't have the same concerns as Mexicans and Central Americans. And those totally relate to Puertoricans, Cubans and other Caribbeans. Latinos and Hispanics don't vote the same across the board. The only reason why they're talking together is because of shared language. A language that will decline as each generation becomes more "American". I personally file that stat that says we'll all be Hispanic by 2020 along with that stat that says we'll all be speaking Chinese by 2030. MLK2 should be rolling in his grave because we're still stuck on categories based on the color of our skin. The political parties should be registering members based on shared beliefs in governance and NOT based on ethnicity or religion or levels of melanin.

While politicians conspire to keep their jobs how will this help unemployment as we careen to a 20 trillion dollar debt as some try to do to the nation what they did for California by seduction and demagoguery.
Where will undermining liberty and the rule of law lead as the drum beat of identity politics continues?
"I told you so" indeed.
