On Hugh Hewitt’s radio show today, I heard Rand Paul say that under his plan, illegals would get work visas, which means legal status, immediately, with border enforcement to come later. So maybe the illegals don’t get the “probationary legal status” that they get from day 1 in Rubio’s plan, but the effect is largely the same. Under both plans, illegals get to stay in the U.S., work legally in the U.S., and give birth to children who will be automatically deemed U.S. citizens. The people who stayed in their home countries and followed the rules do not enjoy these benefits. The illegals get the preferential position. Those who did not “butt” in line, are made to look like suckers.
Thanks. I don’t see a huge difference between what Paul is pushing vs Rubio. Maybe different details but it is amnesty all the same. Those who attack Bush and Rubio and call them RINOs (myself included) have to attack Paul as well to be consistent.
To fix this problem, we (not sure I can do much good, other than communication on this side of the pond, but I try my hardest) need go in head-first, strong and hard to eradicate it (not much hope that will ever happen, but hope is still there)...
