    The article I read explained that his was basically a threat. Leave now and we totally pinky promise that we’ll immediately work to get you back in legally. If you don’t leave now we’ll never let you back in. Why they can’t just set something up where these people can go and do the paperwork to “immigrate legally” from where ever they’re currently at I don’t know.

      Sounds an awful lot like “a path to citizenship” if you ask me. A phrase which has had politicians frothing at the mouth for some time now.

      We already have a system that does that. It’s called “immigration court”, and the vast majority of them show up for it.

      Because the whole point is to have a group of workers without rights or advocates. Noone ever seems to ask why people keep hiring illegal immigrants, just focus on why they would come here.
