The Senate bill is worse than no bill. Secure the border first. Then decide what to do with the illegals. The Senate bill needs a House stake driven through its heart. So typical of the RINO-led Senate: Pass a bill, any bill, and get out of town.
Secure the border -- stop all the free social services such as education, health care, food stamps, ADC; and stop granting citizenship automatically to those born in US of illegal residents. Crack down on employers... if there is no free lunch and employers start going to the slammer, there will be no incentive to be here. And mandate any city, municipality, school, hospital and state that receives any federal funds cooperate with Immigration services to identify and deport any illegal alien they encouter. No more "safe citites" which allow them to ignore the rule of law.
For that matter, just pass legislation which mirrors Mexico's laws regarding illegal entry and employment in their country....
I'm done supporting any party that votes for amnesty for law breakers and continues to legislate benefits to those who do not conform to present law. But I'm afraid the fight is lost when a conservative state like Texas grants in-state tuition to foreign nationals here illegally...there is no excuse - our legislators should be ashamed and be held accountable!!
This issue may well spawn a third party candidacy as most of us will not support a Rep. party that continues to push legislation such as is proposed in the Senate. As sure as you can say Ross Perot a third party will put Hillary in the WH. and what a travesty that will be!!!
