GOP Resolution: NO Citizenship, YES 2-Year Work Permits and Militarizing the Border Hispanically Speaking News
go to original August 17, 2013

The Grand Old Party of Republicans had their annual summer planning meeting and passed several policy resolutions including one on immigration reform yesterday.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) recognized that current immigration laws are “obsolete public policy” and urged its Congressional members to pass immigration reform before the end of the year.

That’s the good news.

You ask what type of immigration legislation - well of course one that does not include a path to citizenship for the nearly 12 million undocumented.  They have agreed to grant work permits without prosecution for being in the U.S. illegally.

The resolution would “allow foreign nationals who are currently in the country and have not violated any other laws of the U.S. to come forward and register and be allowed to remain and work in the U.S.”  The work permit is not a permanent permission but rather one that is renewed every two years and should someone be unemployed for two months or more they must leave the country.

Can anyone say “self-deportation”?
