Excuse me? Isn;t there a long standing book of laws that detail that explains the “path to citizenship” in great detail?

What we have now is an attempt to bypass that law and admit defeat allowing an illegal invasion to continue.

This is a perfect example of what I consider a problem with our society. We throw out these simplistic comments in the media, whether artistically or written and the finger pointing begins. Then of course our (GC or others) written comments continue the fray without elaboration and toss partisan talking points back and forth.
Here’s a thought: post your position or objection and then write something to support it. Keep that magic word “why” in the back of your mind. Kind of like the essay assignment you got in school. Shockingly enough, people will respond with intelligent discussion. Well, sometimes they will and that’s where you start to bring forth solutions to our problems rather than the rancorous exchange that often goes on in this forum.

I agree Micky. would rather we discuss what some of those bricks are and why we believe they are thrown away or installed. seems to be a perfect metaphor for debate.

It is ridiculously difficult to even VISIT this country. Yes, Bruce, there is a path to citizenship, but it is more complicated than it needs to be and is excluding people I think we want. If we modernized our approach to immigration, we could eliminate a lot of illegals overnight, and make those that remain much easier to block.

“If we modernized our approach to immigration, we could eliminate a lot of illegals overnight, and make those that remain much easier to block.”
I agree wholeheartedly. From my standpoint you could expand that logic to hundreds of overly complex laws and regulations that are an impediment to efficient functioning in our society.

OK, Obama blames blames and blames all that is wrong to the Republicans, Clay just takes the white house memo and puts his art skills to it.
To be truthful Yes there needs to be reform. What we have now cost to much and takes to much time. But it can be had. My boss is a good example of those that go through the front door.
the path that is being taken apart is for those that came in the back door and what to be in the front of the line! But Obama in his grandiose blame wants us to believe he is doing it for the down and out and other bs and by the way here is a welfare check and so on. THAT is what a Republican is trying to take away!
And another myth is those that came from Mexico only want to come here and live in peace and make our country great and so on. Bull feathers. Most of them are here on a season basis and send most of the paycheck back to Mexico!
Of course Obama has done great on the self deporting side of things. No Job! No jobs for American citizens no jobs for Mexicans! so they are not coming here in the number they used to.
And what of that? God bless those who want to come here to help their family. Problem is the best of them are coming here and not sticking around and cleaning up their own at home.

Why should we post a link to voice our opinion? You, yourself rarely post links when you voice your opinion.

Funny when ‘W’ Bush called for a path to citizenship, the Liberals were against it.

@Rickapolis
with regard to the road to honor, The president has never been on nor near that path. appointing a tax cheat to treasury? Appointing an anit Israel defense secretary nominee, John Kerry as Sec State?
The concept of honor and personal integrity is completely missing from the democrat party. They voted God out of being mentioned in the party platform. They keep Charlie Rangel, Jessie Jackson Jr., Henry Cisneros, William Jefferson, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, et al. in the good graces of their party.
You cannot use personal honor in a positive sense and the word democrat in the same sentence.
