It's good to see these "moderate" RINOs actually coming out to the right of the administration. Every time a Hillary Clinton or a Chuck Hagel complains, it reminds the Wall Street Republicans that they're completely out of touch with the average American citizen.

But even a Hagel or a Clinton are just apologists for amnesty...

HAGEL: Well, mine's a comprehensive immigration reform plan, Kitty. What the president is talking about is, in general terms, with principles.

And what I would do, I would take it much deeper and wider....

In my Bill that I had introduced last year -- we'll introduce again this year -- in terms of real reform across the board. Not just worker visas, but let's try to focus on the 10 to 12 million illegals who are here now, start cataloging them. Where are they? Let's get them into a cycle, into a queue.

If they want to stay and be part of our society, let's find them. That's not amnesty. We're talking about six basic things. We're talking about criminal records. Have they paid their taxes? Have they been here five years? They're going to have to pay a $1,000 fine. Will somebody vouch for them? Are they working now? This is not amnesty.

But yet the good ones, and most of the people here are here for the right reasons, for hope, a better future for themselves, but mainly their families. And they're productive. They're something that's very -- these immigrants, they're very important to our country.

Let's find them. Let's get them into a queue of legality so they can start working toward eventual citizenship or whatever they want, so we can take our resources and focus on the ones who are here to do harm to our country and put a new focus on our border security.
Queue of legality? How about a queue for America to uphold its laws, defend our borders, and protect citizens and the culture of its citizens from outside threats?
