In fact, put it on the ballot in any state and it will lose and lose big.

Initiatives to cut illegal aliens from receiving government benefits have passed by significant margins. The majority may not want to bar absolutely all immigration, but that doesn't mean there's anything near a majority that wants to open the floodgates.

I would like a politician to explain why someone who sneaks into the U.S. should be treated in any way better than someone who applies for a legitimate visa. All the proposals I've seen reward illegal immigrants for the time they've spent illegally within the U.S. Can anyone explain why this is a good idea?

The question I am talking about is the kick them out stuff.
Now, as to the others, say Prop. 187 in California, the courts did the kicking. Don`t like that at all, but, it`s that nasty real world again. There is a way that Congress can add certain language to some of these immigration laws, but, once again, we are going to have to give to get. And when your stuck on no compromise, you usually don`t get much either.
