He lost some of his Hispanic leaders today. They think he blind sided them in the immigration speech last night.
The tricky one was his insistence that Illegals here will have to leave and get to the back of the Line to become Legalized.
He did not say he would round up Illegals who are living here and who are Law Abiding. I think everyone is missing that, especially the Liberal whiners. They will not be allowed to become Legal Resident Aliens or eventual American Citizens unless they leave an reapply.
Best guess is they Register with the Government and receive something akin to a Work Permit. The long termers are already deeply rooted here and since we allow Anchor Babies it would be a difficult task to just Deport them.
Besides, outside of getting rid of Criminal Aliens which is covered (but not enforced) under current Immigration Law, the rigged Courts which is chock full of Activist Judges would simply block mass Deportations before they could ever begin.
The thing is, nothing like that will happen until the Border is secure. You have to stop the leaks in the Boat before you continue the Journey.
