League of Women Voters now supports amnesty for illegal aliens ("comprehensive immigration reform")

The League of Women Voters is presented by itself and the MSM as a "non-partisan" group, but, oddly enough, their positions all fall on the left side of things (background here). Their latest "liberal" position is to support amnesty for illegal aliens. Per their national president Mary Wilson (link):

"After a lengthy and comprehensive study of this complex issue by our grassroots members... the League's position calls for a path to citizenship for current unauthorized immigrants... As part of overall immigration reform, the League supports a system for unauthorized immigrants already in the country to earn legal status, including citizenship, by paying taxes, learning English, studying civics and meeting other relevant criteria... We oppose deportations of current unauthorized immigrants who have no history of serious criminal activity..."

As a sop, they also say they support more border and worksite enforcement, but they probably don't mean that. As for the "serious criminal activity", I'd imagine that doesn't include identity theft and similar crimes. They'll also engage in advocacy for their new position, so if you know of any LWV meetings in your area please go to them and discredit your local LWV leaders.
