What she is missing is how to keep these people from being a net draw on the government =aid minus taxes: medicaid, public schools, food stamps, etc.

That's one of the things she missed. But even if they paid taxes, I think the courts would rule that they must have a "path to citizenship," and unfortunately, having money does not guarantee that they won't vote for leftists. Think about who Wall Street supported in 2008.

I disagree. There is no way US Federal courts are going to tell the US congress who they must make a citizen. It's is not the same as these state courts ordering states to hand out marriage licenses. Citizenship criteria is clearly up to federal laws. Heck, states can still keep convicted felons from voting forever without the Federal courts interference.

I thought of that. You are not going to see a mass of illegal-amnesty voters that are Donald Trumps/Romney's/Kerry's. I am thinking of the potential hispanic small business owner. I think illegal Hispanics that were demonized as ‘not paying their fair share’ of taxes by Democrats would become conservatives pretty fast, they already disapprove of same -sex marriage and to some extent abortion.

It's just a dream anyway, Republicans wont come up with anything.
