Republicans need to craft a compromise that puts in place a program to shut down the illegal flow, which upon the proven success of dramatically halting illegal immigration will trigger a process that provides a pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegals who have been here for years.

The OBL never sleeps. Let them get anywhere near "crafting" such a compromise, and it will be riddled with loopholes and goodies for illegals. The BOHICA will only be delayed slightly, but BOHICA it will be.

The 'pathway to citizenship' should be to go to the back of the line for legal immigration.
