Rubio can make or break his career on this one. There is an acceptable middle ground on this issue, and it revolves around not fast tracking citizenship for those in our country. We do need to deal with the issue. The status quo is not good.
We have to invest in border security, do an extensive work visa program to normalize those here, allow them to enter the citizenship process in the same manner as someone outside the country, and with those left, deport criminals and enforce business laws for employing undocumented foreigners.
Absolutely correct! Aside from the complexities -- and morality -- of rewarding tens of millions of illegal Mexicans with citizenship in the country they broke into, if Rubio compromises with anything short of sealing the border he will lose the trust and confidence of the Republican Party's rapidly dwindling conservative base.
