The analysts also said the measure would cost more than $30 billion over the next decade, largely because many migrants attaining legal status would qualify for federal benefits like Medicaid.

Taken from American taxpayers by gun point and threat of financial ruin if we do not pay our taxes.

I don’t mind if a select few become permanent residents, however, no one who enters this country illegally should ever be granted citizenship - never!! How do we make Congress understand that??

Trump should veto the abomination...

7 of the usual Rs supported it.
Hot to get rid of these.

Democrats really aren’t for open borders, y’all. Citizenship for 2 million, no border security. In fact, it has negative border security since it strips away the paltry sum of money Trump was able to divert for some walling.

President Trump needs to up the ante by citing implementation of The List.

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to self-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.
