GOP New Immigration Plan

I understand the sentiment. My wife and two of my kids are legal immigrants, so the idea of overlooking illegal immigration does not set well with me. I would be most happy to send all illegal immigrants back to where they came from, and I genuinely think that is the right thing to do.

I do have to recognize political realities though, and what I have suggested is something that I think will address the issues the left has raised concerning families that have been here for more than a generation, yet prevents them from using that as a means of increasing Democrat voters.

This allows us to be cognizant of the human aspect of this issue without allowing the left to gain political power from it. They will have to take the deal, or admit the human aspect wasn't their goal. The only thing they're not getting out of the deal is Democrat voters, so they will have to take the deal or admit that was what they were after all along. It also allows us to force the issue of closing the borders, which is, in my opinion, the primary objective.
