• The government, both the legislative and executive branches, needs to acknowledge that the current immigration law has been bad from its origination and never was, or could be, effectively executed.
• Legislators need to apologize to the nation and illegal immigrants for creating such havoc.
• No amnesty for illegal aliens. The current immigration law is bad, and it needs to be repealed.
• Illegal immigrants should register their presence in the USA by obtaining a worker’s ID and paying a standard processing fee.
• Illegal immigrants who can prove that they have stayed here for at least five years should be entitled to obtain the status of permanent resident if they meet the criteria. They should be entitled to apply for citizenship five years later.
• Illegal immigrants registering their presence here should pay their past-due taxes, with interest, if that is applicable. Penalties for not paying taxes on time should be voided.
• There should be only one type of visa used for all foreigners working in the United States. All presently used categories of workers’ visas should be terminated.
• All family-sponsored immigration should be terminated.
• All visa lottery programs should be terminated.
• All currently open cases of family-sponsored or visa lottery immigration should be honored and resolved on terms equal to or better than those in force at the time the petition was filed.
