No deal is exactly right! We are better off with the status quo then we are with a guest worker plan because once we open that Pandora's box we will never get it shut. There will be no need for any enforcement because our borders will be effectively erased.
I would rather wait until we have had a chance to make the American people just a little more angry and then we can start tossing Senators out of office.
"We are better off with the status quo then we are with a guest worker plan because once we open that Pandora's box we will never get it shut."
Bingo. It's near all or nothing. The bill, even without a fence, is a good bill, so if senators strip it out, oh well (I hope they don't.) But no amount of border security in a bill is worth another failed guest worker amnesty. I'd rather a bill that ends birthright citizenship, builds a fence on the entire border, ends catch-and-release and punishes employers harshly fail than pass with an amnesty.
It's up to the house to stand up and demand no amnesty because it sure as hell ain't going to be the senate or our president. And I know for a fact that an amnesty will fail in the house, the votes aren't there.
So it's going to be the status quo, which really isn't right. The senate won't pass a bill without an amnesty and the house won't pass one with an amnesty.
Agreed, the status quo is far more desirable than Cornyn's solutions.
