My Simple Solution

Greetings, Buenos Diaz, Gutten Tag, Everyone!
Entirely too many people are over-thinking this whole immigration issue. Let's face it, if an Arab corporation hadn't tried to buy a hand full of port terminals a few months back, the events of the past few weeks would never have occurred.
The boarder issue has been ignored for well over fifty years. It isn't just a today problem. Mexicans have been entering these Great United States for decades to search out a living ten-times better than any their homeland had to offer. Their government could not care less whether or not they stayed in Mexico. These poor people are viewed as the dregs of Mexico and the government down there is doing everything to point the way north, to be rid of them, instead of trying to find ways to take care of the Mexican people. That is where we, the Great United States, comes in.
As the Center of the Universe, I have a simple solution to this whole affair.
The Great United States government needs to open its collective arms to these new Americans, people who want nothing more than to become good, law-abiding citizens. These people who are here illegal need to walk into an Immigration Office, present identification with their name, birthday, and place of birth, raise their right hand, and repeat after me:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the Great United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all!"
Upon taking this solemn oath, the new American citizen will then be issued a social security number, specially coded to signify his or her immigration status. They will not be allowed to vote or run for elected office, and must remain felony-free, for two years, as a probationary period. Then, within two years, these persons need to complete the United States Nationalization Course (which should not be longer than a single day long), displaying a knowledge of our laws, our language, and our history. At this point they will become full citizens with all the rights given by the Constitution of these Great United States.
No paying of back taxes. No lengthy waiting periods. Get it over and done with so everyone can live quiet, productive, American lives.
Not a bad solution, if I do say so myself. Too bad none of the members of Congress would ever go for it. There's nothing in it for them. It's too simple. It's common sense, and there isn't a full dollar's worth of common sense among the Senators and Representatives collectively.
They still get their powers from We The People, right? Thought so. I wonder if they remember that.
I'll leave this monoblogue for your digestion. Let me hear back from any and all of you out there in the Universe. I may take this Simple Solution of mine up the line.
Good Evening, Buenos Noches, Gutte Nacht!
