The common sense approach is to stop the influx of illegal immigrants by closing our borders. Deport convicted criminals now filling and overflowing our jails.
And then deal with those already here by taking the time to develop a policy acceptable to the American people and to those who followed the rules (legal immigrants).
Changing the subject with psychobabble will not work, and is unbecoming.
A commonsense approach is to enforce our border and our kmmigration laws (while tightening abuses such as chain migration and anchor babies).
To continue to eventually legalize those who manage to get here illegally is not commonsensical at all.
