And Mr. King's plan is???? Easy to criticize but not so easy to come up with a workable plan for an impossible problem. This old crap about , “just send them all back to Mexico” is out to lunch. 11 million or more? Give me a break if you think you can pull that one off. Why not just send the “Bladerunners” after them and kill them? (sarcasm of course). I'm not for amnesty either but don't ask me what to do with them. What ever it is, it's going to cost a bundle of money that we are borrowing from someone else.

Having worked with Rep. King on immigration issues and appeared with him on a panel at CPAC, here is a plan he supports:

Advocate a pro-immigrant policy of low immigration. Conservative Republicans need to provide the American people with their own comprehensive immigration reform plan, i.e., give people a reason to vote FOR something rather than just attack the other side’s proposals. Such a plan should contain the following elements:

 Formulate a merit based immigration system that brings in the skills and talents to keep us competitive in the global economy;

 Reduce immigration levels based on need more closely approximating 300,000 a year;

 Eliminate extended chain migration, i.e., family reunification, limiting it to the nuclear family;

 Secure the border;

 Enforce existing immigration laws to reduce the current illegal alien population and limit future illegal immigration, i.e., attrition thru enforcement. Enforcement would include: (1) ending the job magnet; (2) increasing coordination at the federal level by eliminating barriers to information sharing among agencies; (3) leveraging state and local enforcement resources; (4) fully implementing the US-VISIT Program to track and deport visa overstays; and (5) make mandatory and improve such programs as E-Verify and 287 [g] authority to assist employers and law enforcement in identifying illegal aliens;

 Eliminate birthright citizenship and the visa lottery program;

 Ensure that anyone who enters this nation illegally is not rewarded by being permitted to stay and work here; i.e., no amnesty;

 Streamline the processing and adjudication of immigration cases;

 Promote pro-immigrant measures that help newcomers assimilate and embrace the values and principles of our Founders and the Constitution.

Do you have a problem with any of this?

And Mr. King's plan is????

That's what I'm scrolling down for because it's not in the article. It doesn't take much to criticize, I want to see if he has 'anything' to offer - like a plan.

What drives me nuts is Mitt who says things that we already know like... we must secure the border (DUH!) and nothing about a plan for those who are here already or how he would secure it. He says nothing - he plays it safe - just things we already know like....what we need is to get this nation working again. And the sheep go. Yippy! And as a businessman I know how to do that! Yippy! And then we are told he won the debate. NEVER HOW - some take it as it's already done.

Like MB when Santorum was putting the heat on Mitt regarding Romneycare. MB cuts Santorum off and says Obamacare is going to be repealed - IOW, case closed on Romneycare and obamacare is STILL alive and well and a very real threat. Sidenote - in July this year, Mitt was campaigning in VA and was in a meeting with a very wealthy businessman who was in healthcare. The article didn't give his name. Anyway he has lot$ of backing and not from the every day slobs. It's not 'We the People' but $pecial interests are backing him for their own intere$t.
