“should have been deported”
Nobody is being deported at the moment. So, in that regard, nothing will change. It’s unrealistic to think that a plan that includes deportations will pass in the democrat controlled senate.
You have to look at all the alternatives. The other plans that are being discussed in the house and in the senate will turn at least 20 million illegals into voting citizens overnight.
I note you did not answer my question. Instead you, like so many before you diverted the issue. Here’s the facts:
We have a path to citizenship now. It is a good one. People use it every day from all over the world.
Illegal has a clear definition. When one engages in illegal acts, one is a criminal. Regardless of age or bleeding heart liberalism/feelgood forum posts.
The GOP is supposed to be the opposition to Dem liberalism, not act as the ‘lesser evil’ option so people can ‘feel good’ saying that ‘we got some of what we wanted’.
Incrimental approaches work. Ask the Sierra Club.
You either accept criminal ‘citizens’ and the GOP playing Kabuki theater games to get to the end result of illegals here under feel good bullXhit premises, or you do not.
You believe in a functioning border or you do not.
You want the rule of law or you do not.
Period.
