That is what we got now that has to be changed.
We got one group of GOP who are rushing to give illegals the vote and benefits hoping that will buy them a few votes, perhaps a few Asian votes since even Asians vote against the GOP now.
The other group, the ‘ deport them all even those raised here since childhood ’ Gside has ideas so toxic that they wont even offer their ideas in a proposal for a bill anymore. They just whisper them to each other.
(and they cant win national elections on it either to do it by EO)
So their position in practice is ‘do nothing’.
So here are the three proposals far:
1) Give amnesty and the vote now(Obama), or
2) Give amnesty and the vote a little later, after a panel decides the border is effeciively closed ??? (Rub, Mccain))
3) Stick head in sand, do nothing, offer nothing, and pray that Bohner doesnt put #1 or #2 up for a house vote because they are likely to pass. with Dem votes
How about a #4 that doesnt give illegals the vote, doesnt give them freebees, gives a stricter path to legalization (say for those who grew up here as kids and graduated HS) without rallying Hispanics to cream the GOP again in 2016 for demonizing those for 'who they are' rather than 'what they did' ?
How about in the bill a part that makes it a felony to bring a minor to this country illegally? Should have done that in the Reagan amnesty bill. That criminalizes the victimizers not the victims.
To complete the thought, how about making a condition of partial legalization for those adults raised here as kids (verified by a HS diploma/records) that they identify who brought them here so they can be deported?
That would make Dems scream.
To be fair, none of our opinions matter, they will do what they will do.
Any chance Rubs idea will die in Senate?
“How about in the bill a part that makes it a felony to bring a minor to this country illegally? Should have done that in the Reagan amnesty bill.”
Long overdue.
