Now she’s latched onto the pathway nonsense

The "pathway" being touted is nothing more than a euphemism for "amnesty."

There already are established tracks to gain lawful admission, residency, and citizenship in the United States, so why create another one?

over 100 million new U. S. residents mainly from Mexico, and more from Central and South America.

I don't mind new immigration--as I myself am the product of two lawful immigrants that arrived here during the waves in the early '80s--but new immigration of that magnitude over a relatively short time span is simply asking for trouble.

The bigger problem, though, is that dangling a general amnesty for tens of millions of unlawfully-present foreign nationals is an inducement for others to unlawfully migrate here in hopes of gaining amnesty. And, even worse, offering an amnesty demonstrates that our own elected officials have no respect for the rule of law, a fundamental American principle, their own actions notwithstanding.
