      Is this biased? Did the Democrats introduce the bill? If they did, there is no bias there. If they are talking about people in this country without proper documentation, then those people are illegally residing in this country. Where is the bias?

        For the love of Pete, if you don't see the bias it's because you don't want to see it. You're obviously being intentionally obtuse. Amnesty bill??!! Please.... here we go again.

        Any solution, regardless of what it is, that is NOT the mass roundup, detention and deportation of over 12 million people (about 4% of the population), which is completely impossible without a massively expensive and militarized operation that would take years, is called "amnesty". It is a rhetorical trap from which there is no escape, set by uber-conservative nativists for which Fox "News" is a mouthpiece. And the other rhetorical trick is that anyone who proposes a solution other than mass deportation is immediately labeled an ethnocentric, open-borders, socialist, communist, un-American, fascist, liberal wingnut.

        Like I said, here we go again...

          There is no need for a round up. There is a simple action plan based that simply enforces existing laws.

          1. Require proof of legal status for 100% of entitlement programs.
          2. Make any medical treatment for illegal immigrants treat and deport.
          3. Enforce strict fines for employing or housing illegals.

          You take away 100% of their reason to be here and they leave.

          Cost to taxpayers...NO
          Major savings of federal dollars...ABSOLUTELY
          Immediate job positions open...ABSOLUTELY
