Secure border first, legal permit, no special pathway. If they want citizenship, they go the back of the line after legal immigrants.
Where that argument is faulty is in their going to the back of the line -- if they want citizenship.
Many of them do not want citizenship. They just want a job, and income, possibly FED benefits, so they can live and probably send some money back home.
The citizenship canard is about as flakey as the secure the border canard.
So, why are so many politicians pushing amnesty? Well, Rubio supposedly got $3 million from big business donors right after the Senate amnesty bill passed.
