(Jeb Bush) It’s easy to say, ‘Well, anything you propose is amnesty,’ but that’s not a plan. That’s a sentiment, that’s not a plan. I think the best plan, the most realistic plan, the grown up plan, if you will, is once you control the border and you’re confident it’s not going to be another magnet, is to say, ‘Let’s let these folks achieve earned legal status where they work, where they come out of the shadows.’”
40% of the illegal aliens in this country are foreign nationals who came here on legal visas and never returned.
“Securing the border” does nothing to prevent this abuse, and the open borders politicians spouting this phrase know it. Deportation is the only policy that cures this abuse and discourages more of it.
