Quote:Nobody is giving illegals a "leg up" under the plan that Marco Rubio was proposing (supported by both republicans and democrats). It's a common sense plan that actually deals with the problem in a realistic way. Sorry, nobody is going to "round up all of the illegals and send them home". It's just not realistically feasible.

Because that past version of amnesty passed by a republican did so much to curve illegal immigration and restrict border jumpers. Any path to citizenship for illegals only increases the incentive to come here illegally and wait for the next round of freebies.


The only way to end illegal immigration is to turn off the magnets. That means no access to our medical system, education or welfare. Anyone caught falsely aiding an illegal faces heavy penalties including employers. Take away the ability to earn tax free money and end their access to welfare free educations and free medical treatment and you don't have to round them up.
