The GOPe wants amnesty and have made it clear in various GOP leadership/policy fora. We had a "one time" amnesty in 1986, never to happen again according to the supporters. The USG estimated 1 million would apply, but the true number turned out to be 2.7 million. The process was rife with fraud.
Now we are told there are just 11 million lawbreakers who should be legalized. We will see how many actually apply. In addition to fraud, the administrative logistics are staggering. And deportations will essentially be suspended while this all takes place. When you reward something, you get more of it.
Which is ironic considering that it’s okay for admission of a stream of immigrants, but not okay to have biological children, for the sake of population control. Plus why should California admit tons of immigrants when it also admits that it is running out of water?
