Illegal immigrants are “a critical part of our society” and should be provided a route to amnesty, Republican presidential candidate John Kasich tells a coalition of Hispanic company executives.
“For those that are here that have been law abiding, God bless them,” he told the business group, which is a major advocate for expanded immigration.
“Then I think the [illegals] should have a path to legalization… I think that can pass,” Kasich said, using one of the euphemisms for granting legal residency to illegal immigrants.
The Ohio governor also claimed the illegal immigrants are skilled. The illegals “are a critical part of our society from doctors to engineers to lawyers– well, I don’t know if we need more of them [lawyers]– but we’ve got a lot of teachers, whatever,” he said.
Kasich also told the group that one of his top priorities is “expand[ing] the guest workers.”
Currently, the nation annually imports roughly 700,000 short-term guest-workers — plus 1 million legal immigrants, a few hundred thousand additional short-term workers and roughly 350,000 lower-skilled illegal workers — to compete for jobs against the roughly 4.5 million Americans who turn 18 each year.
Kasich’s pro-illegal stance is very unpopular among Republicans and voters, but it is consistent with the views of Democratic progressives and donor-class Republicans who think America should experience a level of foreign migration never before experienced in its history.

Oh, no he didn’t say that!
Kasich has turned RINO
“A critical part of our society”
So tell us, pro-amnesty types, why don’t you just raise the immigration quotas then, and enforce those laws, rather than provide political shelter for those who chose to break the laws from the get-go?
How about “God bless America”
This man is unbelievable.
Shut up, Kasich. We are tired of hearing you audition for VP.
So I guess he really doesn’t want to be the nominee
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an annoying Johnny-on-the-Spot this jerk is.
Yeah...god bless those who violate federal law.
FUKasich
God Bless Us, Everyone
Where have I heard that before? /s
Are the rivers burning in Ohio these days? No.
But that won’t stop him from keeping the EPA around likely either. Wouldn’t want to upset the greenies yaknow.
And he was in Congre$$ to boot for years.
He wants Yeb’s donor base.
You really have to admire his confidence that the GOPe will be able to slow the Donald Trump A-Train from steaming toward the GOP nomination.
That in no way means giving them amnesty and excusing the government for not enforcing our laws.
Did you hear that Kasich’s father was a mailman?
These people have gone 100% all in on screwing America and Americans.
