No, you do what you are suppose to do, protect our borders!
“We either come up with a comprehensive immigration package or we have the status quo”
What kind of bad faith statement is that? Typical false choice defeatism. Do your damn job and enforce the laws that are on the books.
No, you do what you are suppose to do, protect our borders!
Exactly. Also, the status quo is better than this bill. At least states and localities can make life unpleasant on these foreigners while they are illegal.
Exactly. I don’t know why these tone deaf Pubs including W, just cannot do two bills. First, enforce the borders, train 18,000, use tech, drones , trucks , TV et al. Even bring home some European based troops to man the borders while training commences. Then two years from now, do the visa, sanctions bit. Bush is just so nice , it galls me. Charity begins at home not in Mexico.
Then, by God, let's have the status quo. That's a better situation than institutionalizing a catastrophic idea. Let's at least retain the opportunity to do the right thing.
Do politicians hold American citizenship so cheaply that they will give it away for a mess of pottage?
I expect nothing from the Democrats. But hearing this from a "conservative" Republican is simply appalling.
“We either come up with a comprehensive immigration package or we have the status quo,” he said.
There is another option- BUILD THE WALL!!!!
“....or we have the status quo”
So we have another US Senator...ON PUBLIC RECORD refusing to support and enforce existing immigration law....
