I think the only thing I can see is that he is going to enforce the laws but not go full out like Ike did with folks who have not broken the law etc. and maybe leave them alone if they pay all of their taxes.
He’s thinking about carving out an exception for the “dreamers” and their families. They would not get citizenship, but be allowed to stay here. Not good. Inequality before the law.
He wants E-Verify to keep employees from hiring illegals. And no gov bennies. So how illegals going to stay if they can’t work and can’t get welfare? They’ll voluntarily leave. Only other option is selling drugs and then if they’re caught they’re deported.
win win win.
