I can’t see all these illegals registering to pay fines and back taxes.

I don’t either, as I’m sure there are plenty of illegals that will not have the means to pay. But I wouldn’t doubt for a minute that the monetary cost, at some point down the road, will somehow be forgiven.

The border will never be made impenetrable and we will proceed down this distracting, argumentative line to no end

Yeah, forget about the borders, unlike every other nation on earth

Employers must prove that no American could be found to do the job the illegal alien would otherwise do. This is impossible, absurd, and turns employers to liars in the pursuit of running their business

They have to do this now, to get special visas

The most significant policy fiction is premised on the idea of reform. The plan does nothing to address the black market for unskilled, low cost migrant work.

And it shouldn’t. Agriculture is the only migrant work, and that is only about a million jobs. Give a visa for Agriculture only, and register the itinerary.

, but in all the hype and show does nothing to address the real needs of employers and the hopes and dreams of those still longing to come to United States whose wait will now most likely be extended and grow even more complex.

The hopes and dreams of Americans are the purpose of government. Whom does the government serve?

Notice he call’s it Rubio’s plan. The target of this article has to be Rubio, since these two seem to share the same goals

I dislike Rubio’s plan.This guy argues for it while arguing against Rubio

Who’s he carrying water for?

What’s not to love?

Rubio’s amnesty plan is only popular with illegals, democrats and Republican progressives – no one with a brain likes it, or thinks the “enforcement” aspect would ever be implemented as written

[Pork-Chop on January 30, 2013 at 10:33 AM]

Well it will be implemented to the same exacting degree that the laws on SS disability, Medicaid, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance, Foodstamps, Housing Assistance, Obamaphones, or any of a hundred other policies which have rules to be enforced. They implemented previous rules of immigration enforcement just as strongly.

The problem is that in spite of enforcement millions of illegal immigrants have ensconced themselves in the country over the last 25 years. Like the argument we are now having with gun control, more enforcement mechanisms just burden law-abiding people with a lot more regulations, like a creating a national employment registry, and putting the onus on all law-abiding employers and creating nothing but a larger bureaucracy sucking up taxpayer dollars. It will do little to nothing in stopping illegal immigration; even putting aside the machinations of those in power to emasculate enforcement, ever watchfulness will evolve to complacency, which will lead to turning a blind eye, which will plant resistance that waters the Do Something! tree.

For want of upholding the rule of law, the country was lost.

Immigration is an issue that keeps hispanic voters from trusting the GOP

No it isn’t. And even if it were, we already know that passing amnesty will do nothing to change that. And frankly, arguments like this make me cringe, because it seems to imply that Hispanics believe they are above the law, or are deserving of special treatment. If wrong, it’s kind of racist to think this way. If right….well, the last thing we need to do is make 30 million more of them legal.

We already have a raft of laws on the books concerning how to deal with immigration and citizenship issues. ENFORCE THEM. Anybody who essentially says “we can’t enforce the laws we have so we need more laws” pegs my bullshit detector something fierce.

In Chuck Schumer’s own words, enforcing the law is harassment. And then in the next breath, he tells you their new, tougher laws against future illegals will be enforced. So to be clear…enforcement today is harassment, but enforcement 5 years from now when 5 million more illegals are here is not harassment.

I can’t see all these illegals registering to pay fines and back taxes. Its like asking gun owners to register their guns. Ain’t gonna happen.

The ones that can, will. The ones that can’t came a day before the cutoff date and lived off the savings they brought with them. Fines will be waived.

You don’t have to pass the bill to know what’s in it. Heck, you don’t even have to read it to know what’s in it.

Rubio is an obama-style opportunist – with his eyes on the White House.
