You misunderstand my motive for making the suggestion. I do not want the Democrats to capture the House of Representatives, thereby increasing the gridlock.

First, I was against the Reagen amnesty action signed in 1986. At the time, I believed -- as did a number of critics – that such an action would NOT be a one-time thing. I'm looking at the politics we face today. Democrats are going to be whipping conservatives (a proper subset of Republicans) with the state of DACA.

My goal is to eliminate DACA as a talking point during the campaigns, and thus limit the damage that DACA could do in "image" campaigns, because the action would eliminate that particular image. DACA acts as a filter for less undesirable people -- we can use that.

I admire, and share in, your adherance to principles. You can stand firm...and watch the Democrats take over the House.

Is that what you want?

You mistake us for people incapable of piercing the legacy press smokescreen.

Border security, not amnesty is the winning position.

All it would take to eliminate the exposure is to have a program to take care of them like I said. Pay a fine, get a green card for 5 years and then qualify for citizenship. That is what legals do, why should the illegals do any less?

All you need is a solution, what the solution is isn’t the important thing, just that there is a solution.
