Deport all illegal immigrants but mack legal immigration and citizenship easier

 @ORYGUNGUYLibertarianfrom Oregon  answered…3yrs3Y

No, they should be processed to provide a proper visa for their individual situation.

 @8TCNPC2Constitution from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but allow them to apply for working visas while detained if they have not committed additional crimes.

 @8T3NC76 from Massachusetts  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes if they have been here five years or more. Pathway to citizenship

 @ORYGUNGUYLibertarianfrom Oregon  answered…4yrs4Y

No, they should be processed to provide proper visa for their individual situation.

 @8R7GVL4 from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

No amnesty, but allow them to stay if they contribute to society and pay taxes without committing crimes.

 @8R6QT8D from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

No, deport them and then send the people who hired then to jail.

 @8Q9G4W9Libertarian from Massachusetts  answered…4yrs4Y

Only if they have been here for five years or more.

 @8LBNT4Y from California  answered…5yrs5Y

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

 @8FR87SRLibertarian from Florida  answered…5yrs5Y

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

 @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.

 @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

 @77durgeConstitution from New Mexico  answered…5yrs5Y

No, deport the illegal immigrants and fine companies that employ them the amount the deportation cost, on top of a flat rate.

 @8FS26RCPopulist from Illinois  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, as long as they have no violent criminal history.

 @8D738S3 from Virginia  answered…5yrs5Y

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

 @88LK76JAmerican from Michigan  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes as long as they get citizenship

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.
