What we need to do as Republicans is to make sure that the illegals coming across our borders are told LOUDLY that we Repubs welcome them. This will dispel any desire for them to vote for Dems. Trap Obama with his own tricks.
He wants an immigration bill, give it to him. OPEN BORDERS, NO BENEFITS. The bill would include the following provisions:
1- you are welcome into the US. There is a 10 year wait for citizenship during which you must have a clean record.
2- you are entitled to no publicly funded benefits-—no free health care, no food stamps, no subsidized housing, no public ed for your kids.
It is essentially the same immigration policy in place during the great immigration waves at the end of the 19th century. And it worked.
