Republican House Members: We’ll Support Immigration Reform but No Path to Citizenship - Page 3

Ouuch! So sad, yet, could turn out to be true. Republicans are about to lose a large portion of voters and many, many more in generations to come. They are shooting themselves on both feet. Big TIME!

well the leader of the house just needs to let the senate bill be voted on

First with asian then black and now latinos... GOPs will never learn

This is how I feel. At this point I just want to travel, work and live my life without having to look over my shoulder constantly. I'd rather not have to make another phone call for someone who has done nothing to be deported or be glued to my Google feed for a story that has even a drop of positive news.

This time five years ago, my mother wanted citizenship, but she looked at me today and told me that if she could just drive, legally work and travel, she would be happy.

It's all just very frustrating because we know we deserve more than what the GOP is begrudgingly going to give us (if they ever do that).

all i want is a permission to join military!

The obvious reason that Democrats want Citizenship while the GOP does not is VOTES... Never forget that. Democrats know more Latino citizens means more liberal voters... Mexicans are super conservative (Personally) but look at the country socially, it is liberal as hell. Democrats are also screwing us. But, atleast they will screw us in a way that affects are life for the better. GOP basic strategy is do not create new voters. And that screws us in a bad way.

You can try to believe democrats have a pure heart and they want to help us, and some representatives do, but if we honestly asked them to drop citizenship for our sake. They would not do it! Sorry, but if they are going to struggle they are atleast going to get some votes.

like you guys gotta remember that the end of the day, both the republicans and democrats all work for the same team. When will these realized all want is to join the military, work and travel safe?

that is it .......

Don't get me wrong, I do want to be a citizen, but the analogy I like is when you see someone dying of hunger, you feed them. Maybe the only food you have is some fatty fast food and soft drinks. You can't spend 2 days debating whether the fast food is not that great for them or they'll get heart disease or suffer from obesity. Give the starving person food, then once he's back on his feet, you can discuss what proper nutrition is.

I get you. Ideally, I want to be a citizen, as well. Being able to vote has always been something that I wanted to do. But if that's not on the table, I can't hold out for what I want when I know that there are others here who could do well with Permanent Residency or simply even a Work Permit.

I think Republicans are going to be losing power in the next 2 or 3 elections if they keep up their attacks on womens rights, gay rights, and immigrants. We would have never come this far even if the atmosphere was the way it was 10 years ago.
