"There is no rational up side."

Uh, they don't become new Democrat voters, ever.

This specific idea was my position long before Bush or Rubio ever mentioned it. Those guilty of entering our country without permission should never be in a position to change its laws. Minor children brought by them should be eligible to become citizens eventually, as they were not guilty of making the decision and taking the action to enter illegally.

So we have a permanent class of foreigners, who crossed the border and resent us. Has no one studied the Fall of Rome?
But, of course, their children will vote and hate Republicans and America. And whipped up by cultural Marxists, and useful idiot Republicans and libertarians who support group rights and groupthink, Latinos will resent America and hate Republicans. And instead of being a one time expulsion of illegals, justified by high minority unemployment, we will have these foreigners here as a reminder of "Republican racism" every election for our lifetime.

If you were Democrat, this would be brilliant. If you were a cultural Marxist, who wanted to destroy America, this would be brilliant. But if you are a Republican, this is an act of lunacy and treason.
