I haven’t paid attention much to Rubio’s plan, but your outline meets my standards. The simple fact is that there is a need to act on this issue. Ignoring it is making the situation worse. Mass deportation is physically unlikely and politically impossible.
As long as those here today don’t get any preference over others going through the process, providing a temporary work visa and having them get in the back of the line for the same immigration process as everyone else, I have absolutely no problem with that. In fact, it is a reasonable solution. Yes, those here illegally broke the law, but we allowed easy access and our system encouraged it for decades. Now, we have to find a practical solution.
I do agree with others. This has to be tied to a real solution to protecting the border...a combination of walls and high tech security.
It seems sensible to tie any immigration reforms to common sense voting reforms such as photo I.D.
