"I get a sense that a lot of people can be persuaded, to be honest with you," the former Florida governor told Fox News in a preview of his interview with host Megyn Kelly that aired Sunday.

He also said that Obama hates the Senate amnesty bill and would find it tough to swallow, might even have vetoed it.
It didn't work. The problem they have is if they go down the sympathy path for some of them then Hillary will up the bidding and demand citizenship.

Of course, they will never earn enough to pay federal taxes, but they will get EITC’s from 4 or more aliases.
