“The 40 percent of the people that have come here illegally came with a legal visa and overstayed their bounds,”
Got his tongue tied trying to appeal to everyone.
If they came here on legal visas, they did not come in illegally. They became illegal when they refused to leave at the expiration of their visas.
Real illegals came across the border without applying for visas. THOSE are the problem. THOSE are the ones would possibly be terrorists or criminals. THOSE are the ones most of the 'comprehensive immigration' crap aims at legalizing, regularizing, or whatever cutzie term the politicians apply to it.
Jeb tried to do the ole dipsy-doodle fast-foot shuffle, but his tongue tripped him up.
Most of us are too familiar with the 'control the border' canard. Politicians have not intention of enforcing that -- or they could do it with CURRENT laws.
