Granting citizenship to illegal immigrants who were brought to the country as minors is the “compassionate” thing to do, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said on Wednesday.
“[T]he history of our country is one that moved away from holding kids liable for the deeds, misdeeds, commitment of crime by parents,” Cantor said, during a GOP press conference on Capitol Hill. “And these, in many instances, are kids without a country if we don’t allow them to become full citizens of our country.”
“It is not only an issue of fairness, as the Speaker said, it’s an issue of decency, of compassion,” he said. “Where else would these kids go?” …

We’ve established what Cantor and Rubio are .... now it’s down to haggling over what precisely they will do, and for what money.
Looks like Cantor is trying to act like a lady. Like Linda Grahamnesty.
Putas.
Actually it would be more like; my father was a drug lord making millions of dollars every year. He bought me and my sister mansions, high-end cars, boats,education, all kinds of goodies. He was caught but since me and my sister were NOT involved in the drug trade we get to keep EVERYTHING. I mean we were innocent, letting us keep our lifestyle is the only decent thing to do......
“It is not only an issue of fairness, as the Speaker said, it’s an issue of decency, of compassion,” he said”
Plus we will let them sponsor their entire families.
I wish these guys worked this hard to thwart Democrats or God forbid advocate for the citizen taxpayers in their districts.
Washington melts the mind.
Fairness for who Cantor? Not fair for the working class American.
It's way past time for a Third Party. May well be too late.
Paul, Rubio, Flake and others betrayed us and must be fought against now.
The cancer has effected most newbies. Hve we lost he game?
No knucklehead, enforcing our immigration laws is the decent thing to do.
When, if ever, are you going to do what's right for America? All of you in DC, seem to put the concerns of the illegal invaders first. What's with that?
And this focus on citizenship is completely stupid and beside the point. All of the DC folks are talking among themselves about citizenship for the illegals on top of the mountain. Do you ever bother coming down into the valley to talk to the illegals? Do they have any interest in becoming American and I'm not talking about citizenship? Do they have any desire to become American, speak English, adapt to our culture and become contributing members? I have seen zero evidence of that. Where's your evidence?
The GOP "leadership" must go. Living stupid is not an option.
Hey Eric the compassionate thing to do would be to create some jobs you RINO moron. Stop worrying about the illegal aliens and start worrying about American citizens for a change.
