I read Rubio as a brilliant GOPe henchman for amnesty. He should be primaried IMO.
I’m for Cruz, but his opinion (and the amendment that he offered to the Gang of eight bill) that legalization could be granted to illegals without a criminal record, but permanently bar them from citizenship is naïve and would eventually be reversed.
As for Trump, his proposal to return all illegals to their parent countries and let the “good ones” return via an “expedited process”, i.e., touchback amnesty, is amnesty nonetheless and won’t minimize the impact of illegal immigration on American jobs.
