The undocumented worker needs to recognized and incorporated into our countries populous.

I think the President has a free hand in writing an executive order regarding immigration.

These are a particular population of people that have made it as far as the USA to find work. They have come to work because even the minimalist of pay was more than they could find in Mexico. Their lives certainly would have been threatened by starvation and/or drug cartel oppression and death. 

In my opinion, the undocumented workers need to have a vehicle allowed for the next two years of the executive order to facilitate their aspirations to a Green Card and permanent citizenship.

There are methods to bring people to the USA by employers. This is exactly that same law but, without prior engagement of the immigration system. It is not the fault of the worker they have found a method to make a living or the fault of the employer to find employees. They have found each other in a relationship not fulfilled by any other method.

It is up to the federal government to act to include these individuals in our population in a way that will promote their permanent status and protection of the families, especially including their children who know no other life and have been educated by our dollars. These children are part of the country and when their parents achieve a vehicle to permanency, then they are incorporated with the complete family.

Undocumented workers need to be sponsored by their employers without penalty to them or their employers and their families listed with the worker seeking permanent status. 

This is a ridiculous situation that promotes challenges and expense to public health and our labor forces by excluding people that work and pay taxes. These people need their legal identities restored so they are not hiding behind faux faces and identities that could result in criminal activity.

There are many reasons for this population to be made permanent citizens that include health, our brain trust, our investment and ending crime. It has taken too long to achieve their inclusiveness and the President has an obligation to legitimize this section of our labor force.

There is too much incentive for people crossing the border to be involved in criminal activity as there is a wall to their success in becoming citizens. How is Mexico going to end it's drug cartel rule when there is strong incentive to continue the drug economy which results in criminality in the USA facilitated by those desperate to find safety.

The President needs to include statistics regarding the desperation of people to simply live in the reasons they come to the USA. The burden of the USA to refuse them status is overwhelming and the path forward is to allow citizenship. It is ridiculous otherwise. These are not simply people that will add to the political roles on one side or the other, these are aggrieved populations seeking well being.
