Both bills required border security but Pence's original bill in the House was stricter on the length of stay for work permits, 6 years, and assuming that immigration quotas stayed the same, would have resulted in a phased deportation over a period of years. It required all illegals to leave the country and apply.

The compromise bill required all illegals to go home but allowed for more time for 2 year renewable work visas, up to 12 years, and ultimately obtain an employer sponsored visa similar to current ones.

The compromise bill was lighter but Pence has been consistent that illegals must return home.

Hunter’s bill had no provisions for allowing anyone to return. That’s my man. But it is very tough to paint Pence as weak on borders. He followed Hunter’s lead on illegal immigration almost to a tee throughout his career. And it don’t get much better than that.
