"The only real comprehensive immigration reform we really need is enforcing the existing laws on the books. Hammer the businesses who are hiring them, remove the ‘contractor exception’ - oh, we didn't know, we just hired this contractor, see, who said he'd get whomever we needed, oh, and they'll need someone who speaks Spanish to interpret for them. Then go after the money - taxes on wiring of cash or money orders to Mexico (and other countries which have a poor record of controlling their people from entering the US illegally), RICO seizures of those who are housing illegals or otherwise aiding them...

Pretty dang quick, the issue will settle itself - those who want to be US citizens will be left, while a good many who are here on an extended free jobs program will go home."

The problem with your solution is that it's too straightforward and logical!(sarc)

The problem for lamestream media is that this has been Trump's answer before. Do we talk deals with those who are left? Maybe. But without a secure border, we'll be doing the same thing that Reagan did in another 30 years.

And I can't blame just Obama for this disaster; Bush had a big hand in it too (both of them) and Clinton wasn't much better.

But the lamestream media keeps finding these ‘activists’ to come on the air and tell us how evil such suggestions are, how racist, how demeaning to expect people to follow the laws. We are a nation of immigrants. There are very few people who can't point to a family member who emigrated here within a couple generations. We all understand cheaters and line cutters.

This is not a hard discussion to have, nor is it a ‘campaign killer’ as the lamestream would have us believe. I'll point to the three major propositions in California that involved (mostly) illegals, all three passed, and all three passed with a majority of ‘hispanic’ voters. Trump's on the right issue here, and one that stretches far beyond any one party line (since both parties are firmly on the giveaway side of the line...)
