Easy solution, don’t issue visa’s to workers family. Don’t issue tourist visa’s except to real tourists. (Real tourists don’t come to stay with a work visa holder.)

Really ..?? With 93 million Americans out of work .. why on earth would we want to give ILLEGAL PEOPLE a “guest worker” card ..???????????

This is just more garbage from the do-gooders.

I’m sorry to see Carson fall for it.

...guest-worker status for immigrants

Guest? Last I checked a "guest" does not sneak into your house through the back door and raid your refrigerator and belongings and then demand to be a member of the household.

Prediction: Carson tumbles to 8% in next poll, Trump rises to 40% +.

I talked with an Hispanic nurse yesterday and her husband, who had been here illegally for 15 years and had his own small business, had gone home to see his dying mother. Now he can’t get back. She’s going the legal route to get him back. And she’s against illegal immigration.

After she married him they paid lawyers for years trying to get him legal status. They’re still trying.

How can we all know that we so strongly oppose amnesty, and they not get it?

Political donors love the last amnesty precedent and our current immigration policy because they encourage illegals. Enforcing current immigration laws would mean only legal employees, and they cost a lot more. Reforming immigration laws to let in the same numbers, but allow them to be legal, would also cost a lot more. The best option for the corrupt business class is our ongoing flood of illegals, who work for far less than legal employees and hope for the next Amnesty. The political class gets it, they just prefer to serve those who donate generously rather than serving the people of the United States.

“I don’t want to hear that deporting illegals is impractical or cannot or should not be done. It has to be done, anyone that wants my vote needs to understand that.”

Carson doesn’t understand that.

Carson:

“Is it moral for us, for example, to take advantage of cheap labor from illegal immigrants while denying them citizenship? I’m sure you can tell from the way I phrased the question that I believe we have taken the moral low road on this issue. Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families.”

Eisenhauer deported 2 million in about three months back in 1954. Operation WetBack.
