4 - Provide mechanism for students to stay under student visa’s, but they’d still go to back of line for legal imigration & citizenship.
Rubio is referring to so-called "children" who were brought here by their illegal parents. It is his version of the Dream Act. But issuing them student visas will not resolve the issue. They should go out of the country to apply for legal immigration to this country. And what about those "children" who don't want to go to college? Can they stay as well?
Rubio is advocating amnesty. When you reward something, you get more of it. And when those students get their status legalized and reach age 21, they can sponsor their relatives, including their parents, to come here legally. And how fair is it to those children of intending legal immigrants who are waiting overseas for their turn to enter and attend US schools?
“And when those students get their status legalized and reach age 21, they can sponsor...”
Why do you pretend to finish a bill the author isn’t done with?
These “amnesty” and “Dream” labels are designed by folks suggesting “Ship them all home” is something that we’ll implement.
An element I didn’t mention are the penalties for employers of illegal immigrants, which clearly has a self-deportation effect.
How do you position yourself to criticize the “close the border” element as unrealistic, and then suggest that “shipping them all home” is the only realistic and acceptable approach?
Where’s YOUR realistic plan?
