Quote:This seems to be an ongoing problem in "the debate". The only people offering solutions are the extremes on each side. The vast majority agree that something needs to be done on immigration. On one hand you've got amnesty folk on the left  sounding crazy and on the other you've got drifter and his ilk. 

 

It seems everyone else has nothing of substance to offer, for the most part. It really should not be this hard to get something in place that deals with legal paths to citizenship along with securing the boarder in a reasonable and efficient manner. I liked the points you quoted from the failed legislation. Just out curiosity, is that the one Rubio proposed than either didn't vote on it or voted against it (can't remember). 

 

The bill that I have been talking about is in fact what Marco Rubio proposed, along with Democrats in Congress.

 

As of matter of fact, he did vote on the bill in The Senate (which passed), but it got shot down when it went to The House.  What many are calling "flip-flopping" is simply not true.  He simply stated that he learned that you can't do a large, comprehensive bill and have it pass.  You must do it a bit at a time.
