Step 1 - Secure the borders
Step 2 - Enforce the current law

If business needs more people they can pay slave wages too then offer temp work visas for those people outside the US that want to come and work.

I hope this is the end of this guy's political career.

But what a way to go out - putting a bullet in the head of your party and trashing the country forever.

The country is circling the drain, what difference dies it make? Unless some states kick off Secession II real soon, we are in the “bread and circuses” phase of the republic’s demise. Enjoy the ride.

If it does these two things:
1: Allow them to remain in the country legally
2: Grants them a path to citizenship
It is amnesty plain and simple! If it looks like a Duck, walks like a Duck and quacks like a Duck,it’s a Duck no matter how many times you call it a Pony! Either Rubio is deluding himself or he thinks were really stupid, either way he seems to be in the wrong party now!

....clumsily coerced onto the bottom rung of the senile Rino ladder to temporary success and ultimate failure. You showed promise only to succumb to the power and greed known as the American right.

The feds aren't enforcing current immigration law, and attack any state that attempts to do so.

If they don't enforce the current law, why give them another low to selectively enforce?

The current penalty for illegal immigration is deportation and not being allowed back in the country (on the occasions when it is enforced). And that's on top of the usual crimes that go along with illegal immigration like tax evasion and ID theft.

Rubio's penalty is a far, far less.

Cities and states have tax amnesties where you just have to obey the law by paying your back taxes immediately and you don't face any further penalties. The equivalent in immigration would be "leave the country and we won't count it against you for further legal immigration attempts". And by parallel to the tax amnesty programs, even that would be amnesty. Rubio's plan has a lesser penalty than that.

Thus it is amnesty.

Time for a true second party. The ‘Rats and most of the GOP are one in the same. Lining their cronies pockets is all they know.

It is time to secure the border. This is similar to having an open wound on the body. You disinfect, close the wound and keep out the bacteria. Any infection you treat with antibiotics.

The flow of trespassers across our border is like an infection getting into the wound. We need to seal the border like you close a wound. The bacteria that has got inside to infect, needs to be treated with antibiotics if the body’s normal defenses are unable. How we treat the trespassers inside our border must be everything that benefits the host. Letting them drain taxpayer money for their welfare must stop immediately. This enables employers to provide work for low wages that is supplemented by the tax payer.

If employers want to reduce costs, they need to push for lower taxes and less regulations. It is ironic that employers do little to fight taxes and regulations and will even donate to politicians who increase taxes and regulations. But that is another discussion . . .

Those inside our borders need to be tax payers We need to develop methods for detecting under-the-table payments for work as a high priority. This is how employers can pay such low wages while attracting low wage workers. We need to break this system because it is a magnet that draws trespassers across our borders willing to risk life to do so. All laws forbidding under-the-table payments for work should be strengthened and enforced; and those involved, prosecuted as a felony. I believe this effort will be one of the first line of defenses against our foreign invaders.

I watched his interview on Fox this morning.

It was more than disappointing.

He’s been saying this for a long time.
During the 1986 amnesty there was a million illegals who ignored the amnesty and didnt bother applying. Is Rubio going to say he the only problem is the illegals who wont sign up for his amnesty.

Hannity came out for amnesty a long time ago as well when he interviewed Condi Rice.

It is simply a bad idea to lure more illegals here with promises of citizenship.

Does anybody really believe that Rubio or any Republican is now going to become a fan against illegal immigration? Are you folks nuts?

All politicians are going for their best interests - now and long term, what do you expect?

As long as you continue to vote these asshats into office, you are to blame! If you want real change - vote these ASSHATS out of office at the first chance!!
