    You're looking for a compromise to satisfy all parties involved, and that is appreciated. A buddy who immigrated from Ireland a couple years ago, and whose status was in limbo when Trump was elected, was worried. Had an American wife, mgr at a chain restaurant, etc...one of the "good" ones. Got his full citizenship a year later, thankfully. He jumped through all the hoops, took all the tests, etc. Very happy for him. Anyone who does that? Yep, welcome to America.
    Helps that he was white.

      How do you know he's white? Just because he's from Ireland? Are there no black Irishmen?

      Your statement is rather racist.

        Yeah, I hated when those 9/11 hijackers snuck into the US over the Mexican border.

        If only there had been something there to stop them.

          That's true, but would mean that giving them citizenship would cost additional money, not bring in more to pay for a wall.

                Good lord. Nice strawman argument. I'll say it again, if you want to argue with my proposal, at least look at my proposal.

                  That's a good point. I don't think either of us really know one way or the other whether the proposal would lead to a net positive/negative revenue impact, but it would be interesting to see how the numbers would actually shake out.

                    I looked at your proposal. We have existing ports of entry like Ellis Island right now. Trump isn't letting people through them. Obama proposed a path toward citizenship. The Repubs were having none of it.

                    Got any more brilliant ideas?

                      Do you agree with the proposal or not? And if not, what is your proposal?

                              Why does it matter? He went through the process. As long as immigrants go through the process, cool.

                              Your assumption reveals a little something about your thinking and prejudices.

                                Brent the supposed problems of illegal immigration isn completely overblown and it can be argued quite easily there is a net positive gain from it in this country. Posting from my phone but I'll provide data from several legit sources later that will back that up.
