Legislation is not about bargaining with the lives of people, it is about resolving problems. The undocumented workers currently in the USA was welcome to perform work for slave wages and Americans profited. They built lives out of air and made the USA their home regardless of their struggle. Now they are thrown out of the country for political purposes of the rightwing. That is not solving the problems of the country, that is victimizing people that belong in this country.
NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 12: Immigration reform advocates demonstrate on
November 12, 2013 in New York City. Some 100 demonstrators called for
Republican U.S. Congressman Michael Grimm, who represents New York
City's 11th District, to back comprehensive immigration reform
legislation in the House of Representatives. The 11-mile "pilgrimage for
the 11 million" undocumented immigrants went from midtown Manhattan to
Grimm's Staten Island office and was organized by the New York
Immigration Coalition. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)

The United States should NEVER create a permanent underclass. That is developing a return to slavery. In the US every person has the same rights as the next. The idea there would be an exclusive class of citizen that has full rights creates a great problems for the country. The future with such an understanding holds a great deal of danger.
Absolutely not.
The dangers include creating separate laws, a separate constitution for people with less rights. These people never receive a vote and never are represented. It creates poverty, unaddressed health problems and huge discrimination. This idea of a separate underclass is obvious bigotry and racism and has the potential to create civil war and domestic terrorism. How are they going to be treated within a prison system if they do break the law?
Whether on a nonimmigrant visa or green card, (click here) committing certain acts or crimes can make a person deportable from the U.S.
They have no right to due process. Their fate in the USA is not guaranteed and is completely victimized. The idea this is a permanent issue in any life will cause stress and enters into issues of longevity.
"This is not an issue (click here) that's ready for prime time to move legislatively," said Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, who said Republicans should use the principles to begin a dialogue with Hispanics.
The USA would be creating it's won Palestine. This 'status bigotry' is an offense to the USA Constitution.
We are on a timeline that is more than substantial to pass legislation to solve this problem.

Remarks by the President on Immigration (click here)
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. This morning, Secretary Napolitano announced new actions my administration will take to mend our nation’s immigration policy, to make it more fair, more efficient, and more just -- specifically for certain young people sometimes called “Dreamers.”
These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they’re friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper. They were brought to this country by their parents -- sometimes even as infants -- and often have no idea that they’re undocumented until they apply for a job or a driver’s license, or a college scholarship.
Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine you’ve done everything right your entire life -- studied hard, worked hard, maybe even graduated at the top of your class -- only to suddenly face the threat of deportation to a country that you know nothing about, with a language that you may not even speak.
That’s what gave rise to the DREAM Act. It says that if your parents brought you here as a child, if you’ve been here for five years, and you’re willing to go to college or serve in our military, you can one day earn your citizenship. And I have said time and time and time again to Congress that, send me the DREAM Act, put it on my desk, and I will sign it right away.....
The Legislature didn't have to write a word so much as pass a bill. This was a no brainer for the US House that can't deal with a bill longer than three pages. It looks like the President needs to do more and write an Executive Order that includes all current undocumented workers for at least another two years.
