“This bill, nobody’s completely happy with this bill, right?”

The first opening line, that always says it all. They typical lead-in when trying to support something that IS BAD AND TOTALLY UNPOPULAR. Kill this thing, before it kills America.
Yes, there is the myth that if everyone hates the bill then it must be even-handed, bipartisan, and an excellent compromise on a divisive issue.
Or it could just totally suck.

It does say it all. This is the elites version of “this will hurt me more than it will hurt you. now take your spanking like a good boy.” But we are not children. We don’t HAVE to accept something we do NOT like. We don’t HAVE to turn 12 million illegal immigrants into citizens. TO retort the question of “what will you do with them?” Let us start with:
1. we would build a wall so we dont get more numbers to add to them. When the boat is leaking, start by plugging the leak.
2. We would check soc security #s reported to the IRS and compare and send notes to the employers of such suspect individuals, notifying them of possible discrepancies.
3. We would implement further employment verification. And we then actually get ICE to start enforcing the law, seriously.
4. We would get local law enforcement to notify Federal govt of immigration status of arrestees and those in jail. We would deport all criminal aliens pronto, saving money, space , and lowering local crime rates.
5. We would end the anchor baby problem by passing a law that restates conditions of citizenship. there is no birthright citizenship to children of parents who are not legal US residents (eg on tourist visas).
we do all of the above and THEN we can discuss the ‘what to do with illegal immigrants in our midst’.
Kill this bill and come up with a bill that WOULD BE something more people would be happy with.
