I have just heard what he said on Hannity on how he would handle the lawbreakers. As someone who has been engaged with this issue for over 8 years and lobbies on the Hill, I am able to evaluate these proposals, most of which are not new. The Pence "touchback" scheme was developed as a sop to conservatives who favor attrition thru enforcement. No legalization and the ability to stay and work here for any of them. They have broken our laws in multiple ways beyond entering illegally.
When you reward something, you get more of it. We had a "one time" amnesty in 1986. The proponents said there would never be another. At the time the USG estimated that 1 million would apply, but the true number turned out to be 2.7 million. We now have 12 million according to the USG, but other estimates range as high as 30 million. The Heritage Foundation estimated the costs to the taxpayer of amnesty at $6.3 trillion if we just have 12 million.
I can see what your saying, and maybe Trump will use this as a ‘plan’ sort of...but my dealings with ‘rich businessmen’ I have found that they just don’t say to much or show their hand until everything is in place, then you understand what has been going on...
I like your posts...
