Yes, if they pay taxes, but punish companies that hire a disproportionate number of illegal immigrants compared to native citizens
Yes, but penalize companies that hire a disproportionate number of illegal immigrants compared to native citizens or exploit an amnesty program to reduce wages
Yes, but if they have no criminal history and they work here temporarily, and also these illegal workers must officially prove themselves with a special document, through which companies create special jobs with special conditions for them and without harm to civilian workers.
Yes, create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants who can provide proof of employment and are paying taxes
Yes, if they pay taxes, but any company that hires a disproportionate amount of illegal workers compared to native citizens should be penalized.
Yes, but only if they also pay taxes and are willing to consider becoming a legal citizen. Also punish companies that hire a disproportionate amount of illegal workers compared to native citizens
We need to develop a reasonable work permit program and immigration policy. Individuals arriving in America prior to 2019 and employed should have a reasonable path to citizenship, but more recent immigrants should adhere to the new policy yet to be developed (no automatic path).
Yes, if they pay taxes, but require that they either commit to acquiring citizenship at some point or renew their visa and green cards as needed
Yes, but only if they’re paying taxes. Ensure that they’re treated as fairly as American workers in terms of wages and working conditions and fine companies that disproportionately hire more illegal immigrants than American citizens
Yes, as long as they pay taxes. However, companies that hire a disproportionate number of illegal workers should be penalized
If illegal immigrants work hard and participate in society and or serve in our military they should have the path to citizenship made easier for them
Yes, but only if they pay taxes and are immigrants with no criminal record and have resided in the united states for more than 27 years , speak english and have well assimilated into american culture .
Yes, as long as they pay taxes. Additionally there should be a simpler path to citizenship for immigrants who are amnesty records as longas they have no criminal records.
Yes, if they pay taxes, and create a more straightforward path for citizenship
Yes, to an extent, but make sure they’re treated as fairly as American workers in terms of wages and working conditions and fine companies that disproportionately hire more illegal immigrants than American citizens
Yes. Provide amnesty to an extent, while at the same time penalizing companies for low wages and/or hiring a disproportionate number of illegals as opposed to legal citizens.
Yes. However, we should penalize companies for low wages and/or hiring a disproportionate number of illegals as opposed to legal citizens.
No. except in cases where the migrant is demonstrably from an unsafe country, filed for amnesty or if they have young children
No except in cases where the migrant is demonstrably from an unsafe country, filed for amnesty or if they have young children
Yes, an no one is illegal.
@9BNMTD92yrs2Y
Yes, but only if they pay taxes. We should also create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record.
@9BLMYS82yrs2Y
only if they pay taxes, plan to become citizens soon, and have no criminal record. we should incentivize companies to hire American workers
@93NXPR63yrs3Y
Yes and fine companies that knowingly hired them.
Yes, create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record who are paying their fair share of taxes.
No, but codify DACA into law.
Yes, and they should be given permanent amnesty whether they are working or not
Yes, but I would prefer permanent amnesty.
I dint know i mean if they working and minding they business then
No, but their children should.
@8XBQKGQ4yrs4Y
Yes, if they pay their taxes they can apply for citizenship inside the U.S.
No, not until we get the border under control.
@8VK4D624yrs4Y
Yes because they are human.
illegal immigrants can be temporary workers with work VISA. Employers should be required to keep track of their illegal immigrant employees with picture IDs for Illegal Immigrants. There should be laws to protect these workers from being mistreated physically or with pay. They should be required to pay taxes or employers pay their taxes. If workers go AWOL, the employer should report to a single agency who then tries to locate missing workers and deport them and revoke their work Visa.
Yes, but they should be given permanent amnesty instead
Yes, give it to all immigrants
@8T82L6Y4yrs4Y
No, but allow those in good standing to stay and create a path to citizenship for them
Yes, but not until we get the border under control.
@8SM4HJ7Constitution4yrs4Y
Yes, but only until their work term is completed
Yes, but they should be audited for tax purposes, and compelled to begin naturalization courses immediately or risk deportation.
As long as they are good people
Yes; if they pay taxes and have no criminal record, create a pathway to citizenship
No, not until we improve border security.
@8RHS52T4yrs4Y
They should not be given amnesty, but those who are employed, pay taxes, have no criminal record, and can otherwise demonstrate exemplary behavior should be put on the fast track for citizenship.
@8QM3V4Y4yrs4Y
Yes, We should revoke the right of companies which hire illegal immigrants to do business. The path to citizenship should be reexamined and changed so that it is simpler and reflects the current needs of the country, so long as the individual does not have a violent criminal record.
@8QF2NNH4yrs4Y
Yes, and give them a path to citizenship
Yes, but I'd much rather give them full amnesty
No, they should be allowed to come through a process if they are willing to work and return home after a predetermined period of time.
@8PWNKLJ5yrs5Y
yes, but give them full amnesty instead of temporary amnesty.
Yes, however, I would much rather give them full amnesty
@8JLV2BP5yrs5Y
Yes, if they have been in the US for over 10 years and have no criminal record
No, but make legal immigration much easier and allow many more legal immigrants
Yes, but only if they area paying taxes and have no criminal history.
I think we need to crack down on companies hiring illegals because it deprives Americans of real wages and jobs but I'm conflicted on what to do with the illegals after that
No person is "illegal" !!
Give them a clear path to citizenship with a timeline
@9C98GGN2yrs2Y
Yes, but I'd prefer to give them full amnesty
We should find way for the people who want to be here to get here
I think they should be allowed to stay as long as they don't have any major criminal records like murder
@97MCWPH3yrs3Y
Yes, but I would prefer to make it permanent
Yes, and make it easier for immigrants to obtain temporary work visas
No, but allow to stay within a certain number of years of pass background check. By end of period then should already be applying for permanent residency or citizenship.
@935WS2N3yrs3Y
yes, but only if they remain gainfully employed and continue to pay taxes
Yes as long as they pay taxes. We should also create a more simple path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
again, with the loaded 'illegal' label.
Yes, but only after we increase border security.
If they want to stay. Apply for citizenship
No, but we should allow more immigrants into the country.
YES as long as they dont have recent major criminal records such as selling drugs and killing and rapist
Yes, create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record, or one whos criminal record is a nonviolent crime(s).
