I got a bunch of grief here a month ago for suggesting that the GOP should propose a reform plan that offers some sort of legalization (with many requirements and limits) to those illegals who are now adults and were clearly brought here and raised here as children(those with a HS degree from a US school), as they are seen as victims by most Americans and will always be.
To propose something as an alternative to the amnesty club, something alternative to giving them the vote.
I got comments back saying that any child brought here to the USA illegally is a criminal themselves for touching the US soil, and they need to go ‘home’ even if they are 25 and had been here 20 years since 5(like that is a winning issue).
But I tried to explain that the GOP is terrified now thanks to Romney’s failures, just saying no to everything will result just in as VAWA and the tax bill passing with mostly Dem votes, something we really hate ,like illegals voting in GOP primaries.
They should go through the same process that any immigrant does in order to gain citizenship.
