It's part of reform I predict that Republicans will port forth, they will waive the ban on overstaying. They will make it move faster and have a merit system based of family, education, etc. They will require everyone here to leave for x amount of time while they wait on things like i-130s/485s to be processed before they allow people to come in.

I think they may make people go back, file an i-130 in your home country and whenever your priority date becomes current they will let you over. It is kind of how it is now, but I think they will change the point system for getting in, having a degree will help big time, having a USC immediate family member will help also.

I remember back in 2007 one of the things republicans wanted for the CIR to pass was for the illegals to go to their home countries and fill there under the new system then come back, from what they said it wouldn't have taken as long maybe a year wait or something along those lines, democrats balked at it, saying it would split up families, in retrospect I wish they would of went for it. A year away from your friends and families is a lot better then 10 years.

I fully believe Republicans will try to draft an immigration reform. Regan the "greatest Republican president of all time" gave amnesty so it's there. They will draft something like harsher penalties for being illegal, forgiveness for being here illegally by going back to your own country to fill, passing certain background checks, physical, must read, write, speak English. Must have a High School Diploma or GED, etc etc I'm sure a few other things. It would be a brilliant move by them to do.

First off in 2012 they aren't going to get Palin or whoever runs for president in office, because not enough people like her or Gingrich. If they passed immigration reform, they would get the Latin vote like that, one of the biggest reasons why democrats kept the seats they have.

It's a stupid technicality because unless you are the spouse, child under 21, or parent of a USC they can't petition for you, it's like hello they are still my parent who cares if I'm over 21, they might be able to change that in a reform.

I am talking reform across the boards, they will have to allow people to come here for green cards, people with degrees if they want to be able to compete with China. That is what Canada does, one of the best ways to get into Canada is to have a degree in some field and it gets you in faster. Why? Because Canada is growing and wants smart people, they want scientists, they want future CEOs because it will help Canada grow.

If Democrats do not pass dream act during lame duck and in no way shape or form pass or try to pass any type of CIR, I think most Latinos won't vote, why bother? Obama promised reform and he hasn't done shit to try to get it, Bush has done more then he has.

If Republicans pass a stricter, but fair CIR you bet your ass Latinos will vote republican. If you look at Latinos the ones I know, most are conservative anyways and I think the biggest reason they vote democrat is because of the immigration issue, it affects a lot of Latinos through friends and family.

The democrats are fools that is why they lost in 2010, if they continue to be foolish and do nothing, and republicans use immigration to their advantage say goodbye democrat power for a while.

I truly believe the republicans will do something with CIR, they looked at how close a no name psycho crazy old tea bagger came to beating Reid, she bashed Latinos and it cost her while he pandered to them to Latinos promising he would try to pass DA. Republicans will learn this and realize the key to the white house in 2012 is going to be through Latinos. I mean I think Latinos are largest minority voting bloc there is right now? They are only going to keep growing, why cut your own dick off and tell them no when one day they will have a major major impact on the government.
