With a totally controlled immigration process: borders, airports, seaports, coasts, visa control, etc., the issue of children of illegals will be the same as every other issue.

We'll be REVISITING the same question a decade from now.

Horowitz points out the obvious: They aren't going to let a kid stay and kick out his parents who are his source of support. And that means they'll have to green card the parents, and then the grandparents, and then the uncles/aunts/cousins.

This is just sneaky amnesty.

One step at a time.

Step 1: Totally control access to this nation.

Step 2: Refer to step 1.

They are pushing it because businesses want to keep their payroll low by hiring illegals for less than minimum wage.

So why on earth would Republicans push for amnesty

This is not a very hard question to answer. If you legally dump millions upon millions of unskilled laborers into the general American workforce, it will depress wages all around, just like it does with the agricultural and construction industries that currently rely on the illegals (criminals) to keep wages/costs down.

Follow the money. Lots of big businesses benefit from a glut of cheap labor in the short term, even if it hurts the country elsewhere in the long term. Big business has bought off Congress.
