Well said ... and 100% in opposition to the Democrat Socialist Party position and only slightly less so to the U.S. Chamber's/GOPE's shared position.
Not well said at all, for one reason: There really are some people in this country illegally who both want, and should be considered for, full citizenship at some point. The most obvious case is the productive adult who was brought here as a young child long ago and knows no other country as his home, but I suppose other examples could be cited as well.
While you might feel justified somehow in returning such a person to his “home” country, or more accurately, kicking him out of the only home he’s ever known, most people would disagree with you and you would be committing political suicide to take such a position as a candidate (which is why you can’t find any candidates doing so.)
Drop the absolutism, however, and you probably have a winning political stance, as illustrated by how the present candidates are heading in that direction, dropping any previous positions where they thought a pathway to citizenship was a good idea. In most cases, it’s not; just not in all cases.
