In re-reading my previous post I realized that I didn’t properly portray Rubio’s position of what to do with the illegals after securing the borders and fixing the visa overstay problem. He anecdotally identified Reagan’s amnesty for some 3 million illegals as folly. It was so easy to be “pardoned” that some of those in line for legal citizenship gave up their positions and declared themselves as illegals to get a faster path to citizenship. While he didn’t get into specifics it was clear that any path to citizenship would have serious conditions, take time and would not be guaranteed — all requirements for legal citizenship today.
