Is the "Dignidad" Act a Bad Idea?

Maybe. Or maybe it comes from a different place than we think it does.

Get another truck talk today. There's talk about a dignity act going through Congress right now to try and give path citizenship to maybe not all of the illegals who came in under the Biden administration, but at least a good number of otherwise and otherwise law-abiding illegals who came in during previous decades. I'd like to share my thoughts on what a policy like that should look like because the policy should be to cull out those who are simply freeloaders and benefits booches and get back right back around to the people who absolutely needed a good break and it made a good break for it. I believe that all amnesty should be here. Here's what the policy would look like if I were to write it. All amnesty is stripped. Okay? There's no more claiming amnesty for anybody who came in up to this point. Second, if you are not a citizen, you are given a court date. It will be a speedy court date. We do this right, it should all be done in. If we do all this right, then I don't know, you can fit in like five, six court cases a day. The court cases consist of this. You, the illegal, must answer all questions in English. All questions in English. This does make it incumbent upon the judge to use plain language as opposed to complicated terminology of the law. Even a lot of Americans don't understand the full text of the law. So it is incumbent upon the judge to use plain language of the law in evaluation, and of the applicant to use English to answer all of them. You may argue that you are a worthwhile applicant, that you would be a contributing citizen based on that information documentation. Now the state is gonna have the completely enviable job of finding evidence to the contrary. Every time you have skipped on a bill, every time you've been arrested, even if you were not charged, everything that can be held against you, and it should be in your interest to plead guilty as charged to all cases. Now, now now here. These may not disqualify you from your citizenship application. One may very well understand the turbulence of youth and may very well have some leeway for just being young, dumb, and stupid. And so if in the balance it turns out that you are not a significant and significant danger to the society into which you are applying to be. And if it can be shown that you have been a minimally minimal drain on resources which were not meant for you. If you can prove all of these things, then you may well be accepted for this. Now, one other stipulation: any benefits that you have and any licenses that you may have attained are canceled, and you will have to reapply for the licenses, and you will have to either get to the back of the line or count on non-federal, non-state money for any charity you need. Now, this could mean that there's a charitable organization in your area willing to front you a bit of money until you're on your feet again. This may mean that you have to uh go without for a little bit or rely on your cousins for a little bit of help, be that as it may. Also, because you are here illegally, even though even though we may accept you into citizenship, you do not gain any benefits before retirement age, which I do believe is 65 these days, you do not get any benefits until you are retirement age. Your children are the same. No benefits until retirement age. Your grandchildren, however, may apply for those which are entirely within their within the legal parameters of anybody else in America, any native-born citizen, it is allowed for them to do so. And your children must be native-born and citizens of the state. For the, I don't know, majority of their lives. That means, I mean, that means they can be born in California, move to Nevada. But you must be a citizen of the United States. So I think with all these stipulations, you're not actually gonna run the illegals out. I think you're gonna end up with really a lot of them turning around and making the application for it. Because I do believe this is still the greatest nation on earth. There's a reason that they came across the border and risked everything, and if they have stayed all the way through the rest of this, like um, I believe they deserve a proper shot. After that point, more power to them. Those are my thoughts. Maybe Mass Ambassy is a bad idea. I mean, Mass Ambassy is a bad idea. Maybe providing a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens is a problem. Maybe, just maybe. If you make it tough and fair, you'd end up doing what everybody wanted all along, which is expanding our culture. And not really to do it.
