Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here, the object of their crime, is amnesty. A path to citizenship is a bonus. Giving them green cards entitles them to all the benefits of citizenship except voting. They can receive welfare and entitlement benefits, SSNs, driver’s licenses, work permits etc.
Ryan couldn't even carry his home state last year. He is no one conservatives should look up to. Neither is Rand Paul, whose state is not much affected by illegal immigration. As for Marco Rubio, he is undercutting his own base in Florida.
“Giving them green cards entitles them to all the benefits of citizenship except voting.”
Heard that during jury selection this week for the Whitey Bulger trial, it was discovered that an illegal was in the pool of prospects (derived from the voter lists). Gotta wonder how many illegals are not only illegally voting but also illegally serving on juries.
They have been getting welfare and anything else they want for years. Amnesty defenders would get on tv and say with straight faces that of course not illegals couldn’t get welfare—that would be against the law.
