Citizenship (and the ability to vote) is what the Democraps want.
I am a cruz supporter (really Palin/Cruz) but I think the GOP should adopt this stance- OFFER the democraps EVERYTHING they want- total amnesty, legal status, VISA’s, whatever... EXCEPT citizenship (and the ability to vote)
They will TURN IT DOWN because the ability to vote is what they are after.
AND THIS WOULD PROVE THEIR REAL MOTIVE
At least cut off the bennies and jobs
A Reagan do-over. This is Reagan’s biggest failure, giving amnesty with promise of border security later. Never happened and we’ve been faced with a massive infestation of illegal aliens ever since. Can Cruz secure the border and do so before any further discussions? I’d like to think so. After that, let’s talk about deporting, self-deporting, and other options. I’m an optimist we can still win this battle but only with someone that will stick to their course of action.
Agreed! If a person is an illegal alien:
1. No benefits (health, education, welfare)*
2. No work
Irks me that illegal aliens get better benefits than Americans in equal need, that they get in-state tuition when Americans do not, that they take seats in publicly-funded schools that would otherwise go to an American.
If an illegal alien need medical care, fine, give it to them and then deport them. One way trip to the doc and then to the border.
But I don't think anyone will champion this approach.

Splitting a red pubic hair.
A “path to citizenship” is just amnesty by another name.
The treason lobby comprising the GOP establishment has been trotting this line out ever since they realized that the grassroots voters are really angry over their failure to stop illegal immigration.
It’s boob bait for bubba. As is “build the fence first”.
Both pathway to citizenship and build the fence first mean that deportation, the penalty for trespassing into the United States, will not be enforced. And foreign nationals understand this perfectly well.
Lawbreakers won’t go home on their own. It’s our government’s job to send them home. But in Bush and Obama we have had two Presidents who subvert the law and try to ram amnesty through instead.
Eisenhower was the last American president to take this issue seriously. And unlike the recent fools we have had in charge he did his job.
This is the correct policy and it’s nonsense that you even deport a million. It’s like speeding laws. Within a range, they work (I.e., 5-7 miles over). Why? Because we fine SOME and penalize other repeat violators even worse, and everyone else comes into line.
The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight, he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.

Correct.
Besides, they all know it will take a month or so for a federal judge to find a constitutional right to get them citizenship.
And correct again.
Every state that has implemented the enforcement of our laws on the books today, has seen illegal immigrants flee to other states.
If the nation enforced those laws, these people would in large part leave the nation.
Some already have.
It’s a sad commentary that we have to apologize for setting our own immigration policies that in some instances are much more lax than other nation’s policies.
If a guy can’t get behind enforcing our laws on the books, he isn’t “OUR GUY”. He’s “THEIR GUY”.
I use a take on the old saying ‘reasonable persons can reasonably disagree’ to disagree with you I think. If people of any persuasion/age commit an illegal act they are law breakers. My opinion is that many of the so called illegals are and will be lawbreakers. Many sneak into the US not to be contributing citizens such as the Statue of Liberty was meant to welcome but instead to live the criminal life of countries they come/came from. I don’t go with the postulate that all the children in these groups will be dedicated to the words and spirit of the US Constitution. The Nation is already witnessing in the streets and in the schools that a very large proportion of these immigrants ,legal and illegal, are demanding above and beyond ordinary for special privileges. Of course all this goes along with Obama’s change to change the fundamental spirit and wording of our Constitution. The US has a cancer of population growth/allowance which needs to be removed to keep the US what so many have died for. I speak from having lost my only brother on Okinawa and myself having served in the Pacific theater of WWII.
I had high hopes for Walker. However, I cannot support port any candidate
that supports a path to citizenship or amnesty.
“NH GOP chair: Scott Walker told us he supported a path to legalization for illegals, not citizenship”
Not much difference. A play on words. Legalization for illegals, means citizenship not far behind. Tell the illegals if they want citizenship to go back to their countries and file. In the mean time seel the f’n borders.
