Should Migrants Be Granted Amnesty When GOP Pulls Stunts?

[Backseat Driver]

28. I'm not sure that "instant amnesty" is the answer to our immigration policies that just

don't work well for immigrants' journeys to "safety" or "the better life" at the border states of entry. I am sure the USA can better show genuine hospitality to newcomers; the problem being that they've come in such numbers. Smaller groups of immigrants without family and/or ready sponsors in need of the basics would be better served, perhaps, by a mandatory short, very short, period of education in American language and "how to" locate processes for finding resources like jobs, transportation, clothing, food banks, healthcare, legal needs. I do believe that mandatory naturalization classes should be offered sooner, ASAP, in fact, and perhaps either on-line or in small groups in every branch of public libraries free of charge; then amnesty when they take and pass the test at cost, for those that have succeeded in minimally assimilating to their new lives and jobs in the USA. Long drawn out processes with large fees to attorneys are not conducive to making new citizens that can then participate more fully on their own terms in American life. Don't we have enough American citizens who need American solutions to life in America? We see this on our streets and in our courts because we have lived too long under governance of wealthy by greed, corrupt, out-of-touch, mean-spirited, discriminatory policies courtesy of the GOP and their harmful stunt-pulling. Yet some of those stunts do highlight the need to make changes sooner than later.

That said, I'm so proud that blue Martha's Vineyard, et al, did not panic in fear of 50 asylum seekers though you'd might never know that listening to MSM who seems to dwell on the nasties/deplorable people aligned with TFG and his cultists.
