Sorry, I'm suspicious of any politician who is trying to have it both ways on this issue:
a. Supporting "a (universal) path to citizenship", while also...
b. Calling for "effective border security".
c. While knowing full well that the latter isn't going to happen under the current administration. And that every last applicant for a resident card or work permit is going to get the benefit of the doubt and receive every administrative waiver available.
Any "comprehensive immigration reform" passed under this administration is going to be perverted and abused -- and the American people will be the losers for it.
So...why...even...try?
Come up with an effective strategy to keep them from passing anything until we’re back in control then...
If your hypothesis applies here, it applies everywhere...
