Offer a path to citizenship or deportation with time limits and a specific, nearly inflexible set of steps

Eliminate subsidies and allow workers to move back and forth across the border like they used to...in when times ate good and out when they’re bad

Yes, as long as they have been here for more than 10 years and have no criminal record create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record

 @9CJBQ7X from Colorado  answered…2yrs2Y

They should be vetted, thoroughly, then, given temporary work visas. There is no path to citizenship whatsoever. They have zero rights or benefits of a US citizen.

 @RWM1999Republican from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

No, they should apply for legal documentation for citizenship

Yes, as long as they don’t have a criminal history and have a clear understanding of our country’s values and culture

 @982R37X from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only if they pay taxes, and create a simple path for immigrants with no criminal record

 @Brandonnoe84Libertarian from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

No, remove them from the U.S. but create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record as long as they pay taxes

Yes - with a $5,000 fine military or public service for 2 years

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
