WASHINGTON (AP) — Side by side, leading Democratic and Republican senators pledged Monday to propel far-reaching immigration legislation through the Senate by summer providing a possible path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people now in the U.S. illegally.
The senators acknowledged pitfalls that have doomed such efforts in the past, but they suggested that November’s elections — with Hispanics voting heavily for President Barack Obama and other Democrats — could make this time different.

Sounds promising, but will there be anything in this law regardng the deportation of serious/dangerous criminals as recently reported in the Globe? Will our President and his State Department start insisting that countries take their citizens back when requested and if they don't, face some serious consequences?
Will the Gobe please ask those questions of Senator Warren, our members of the House and soon-to-be Secretary of State Kerry.

So, we reward 'bad behavior,' or those who ignore U.S. laws?
What about the individuals who have waited for years for their approval to legally immigrate to the U.S.?
In another 30 years, we will grant amnesty and citizenship to another 12 million unskilled, uneducated criminal welfare abusers. Regan made the mistake in 1984, these current clowns repeated it.
