What's this?

That would be nice but it may be a wasted effort

Not a day goes by on this board that someone from the right or left hurls a personal insult at someone else. Both sides are guilty and both sides have daily repeat offenders. And some on both sides are very, very nasty.

Huh? -- HokieSignGuy 01/23/2018 2:28PM

Citizenship should not be on the table. -- ConnHoo 01/23/2018 1:29PM

Clearly the best solution is Soylent Green. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 01/23/2018 1:20PM

What is your opinion? ** -- hooyorkcity 01/23/2018 11:13AM

I suppose at this point they should be able to stay with the assumption -- Tuckahokie 01/23/2018 11:24AM

I hate the back of the line analogy. They are not in -- 81_Hokie 01/23/2018 1:27PM

Agreed. The line starts in an immigrant's home country -- MaizeAndBlueWahoo 01/23/2018 5:07PM

So in essence they would forfeit their right to ever being a citizen becaus -- Hoodafan 01/23/2018 12:38PM

Deportation only works if we have a secure boarder. If someone -- Cold Hoober Hoo 01/23/2018 1:00PM

No issue with any of that here. Although I will point out that legal -- Hoodafan 01/23/2018 1:06PM

This, but if you manage to stay for 10 years without getting deported -- Faz d. Hoo 01/23/2018 12:07PM

What's the point in not giving legal status if you don't intend to deport -- Hoodafan 01/23/2018 11:16AM

Dont want to reward their lawlessness plus legal status starts the chain -- TomKazanski 01/23/2018 11:23AM

He's a dumb bigot. Why are you surprised? ** -- 111Balz 01/23/2018 11:06AM
