How do you ‘secure the border’ if you do not deport foreign nationals who are here illegally?
40% of the illegals in the United States came here on visitor visas and never returned home. How exactly would ‘securing the border’ touch them?
The only thing most illegals want is for the situation to remain just as it is. They live here, work here, get all sorts of welfare benefits here, and they don’t have to bother with all sorts of laws and regulations that we do.
If you want to ‘secure the border’ and effectively lock the door behind them they are all for it. They may even throw a party in your favor.
It's worse than that actually. They enjoy being a protected class….But you're right. The last thing they want is more competition coming from behind them.
Everything I've read on Rubio -other that the standard bashing hyperbole- is that Rubio supports a border security first approach. That is as good as we are going to get and if it's done correctly we should see a larger version of an AZ SB1070 style exodus.
