He said they register but that gives them no more priority or guarantee to stay or to be citizens ...including their children born here !!
Employers need rules to follow and after those rules are established ...if they do not follow them ...then employers get fined !!
It is the employers who will do the enforcement on illegals, under threat of fines & penalties ...you really think the government can do that ...or send them back !!
Which would you say is more important in a candidate—the way he looks and how fast he talks or the things he believes and what he says he’ll do as president (as supported by his record)?
We will have to go to the transcript when it is available. In the meantime.

He didn't say that he would change birthright citizenship. He did say, correctly, that it is up to the parents. What is the point/purpose of registering if you are an illegal alien?

I favor attrition thru enforcement. The USG in coordination with state and local law enforcement officials [using 287 (g) authority] will still be responsible for deportation. Yes, the USG can do that and should do that. Moreover, since 30 to 40 percent of illegals come here legally using visas and then overstay them, we need the USG to fully implement the US-Visit Program to track and deport visa overstays. One of the things rarely mentioned by any of the candidates is the need to vastly increase and make more efficient the current USG bureacracy handling immigration matters. There is also widespread fraud in ICE.
