Your comments illustrate the conundrum - young men who break the immigration laws to work in the US at menial, low paying, back-breaking work that unemployed and welfare-recipient citizens refuse to do.
If they were invading China or Cuba we would applaud their audacity and work ethic.
Rubio described an excellent, practical solution for a 10 year application/waiting period for legal green card status (not citizenship, welfare benefits or voting eligibility) Proof of self support and background check. More hurdles than high tech, European and Asian immigrants.
Since there's gloomy prospects of living wages for millions upon millions of alien families who will be undergoing the wait while living in a Ponzi economy near collapse......and since the members of said extended illegal families will be aged, be sick, be injured, become handicapped, be malnourished, be giving birth, etc. the Supreme Court will OVERTURN the "no health and welfare benefits" law in a heartbeat (especially since we probably will have an unstoppable Obama court majority in the very near future).
Let's be realistic. I think everyone knows that illegals will continue to receive the benefits during the waiting period just as if they were documented citizens. The Supremes will mandate it. Any politician, including Rubio, knows this, also....and they are lying through their teeth with their reassuring, slick words, promises and explanations to the contrary.
We are being led into a total socialist/welfare by our rulers in both parties....a state where everyone will be equally broke except the rulers.
