Marco Rubios Amnesty ideas represent a new outlook on this issue for Republicans. For now some Republicans are looking for Rubio to take a leadership role on how the Republican Party should confront a rapidly changing electorate. Many Republicans know the party must change and that will include breaking the grip of hard right conservative viewpoints on the Partys policies. Sean Hannity also realizes this as well. As the party evolves toward a more compassionate view on immigration the Right Wingers will be force to shut up or leave. Its of course its too early to tell but Marco Rubio is being strongly considered as a candidate for the next presidential go round. Rubio never introduced legislation this year, but his ideas would give non-immigrant visas to undocumented children brought to the United States at an early age provided they have no criminal record and have completed high school. It would allow them to stay in the country and access the existing immigration system through which they could eventually become green-card holders or naturalized citizens. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83613_Page2.html
I have no issue with that. I do have an issue with an open border and millions of illegals. All he is proposing is putting a small segment of them through the immigration process we already have. This isnt mind blowing news here folks ~
Considering that many white voters simply stayed home rather than vote for Romney it makes one wonder if disaffected republicans will sit out the next presidential election and negate any pick ups made while pandering to Latino voters. Personally I don't believe in decisions made in an emotional state and hasty rash decisions never turn out well.
Enforcing immigration laws is not "hard right" politics. Freedom to break the law is what many lefties are demanding. They don't want immigration laws enforced. And they resent the fact that Republicans do want them to obey the law. Many lefties want to ignore the immigration laws and just let people wander in and out of the country illegally and Republicans oppose that.
Immigration laws are being enforced. What you are arguing is that you do not want certain laws to be enforced such as adjudication by illegal immigrants who are eligible to change status. But if we do enforce immigration laws to how you define it, then by extension we would have to do it for all laws. If that happens, you would be the first to cry that government is encroaching in your business, life, etc. And by that you will eventually show your hypocritical stance.
You don't actually believe the lefties are solely responsible for the many millions of immigrants that entered the US illegally? We do have the means for a mass deportation. This isn't a left or right position, it is fact.
Actually that Proposal in itself will put pressure on the U.S to not break up families. The implications could lead to Amnesty that would include a larger segment of the population of illegals. But my point is valid. Hard core Righty's will not appreciate any of this.
Immigration is the issue that will kill the Republican party, because there is no way to win. If we oppose amnesty, the Hispanics will vote for Democrats. If we grant amnesty, there will be millions of new Hispanic voters and they will vote for Democrats.
If you are past high school you are no longer a child. They can go visit there families in Mexico and help them go through the immigration process.. Legally.
Unless they are caught within the 20 mile border, then you cannot deport an alien without first going through immigration court. However, if they volunary deport, ie self deportation, then no court would be required. And since there are not enough immigration judges to go around to do this expeditiously, then you are living in a fantasy world.
Or whites could be a "voting block"....if they would only discern their own self-interests.....and win every election....its pretty simple math.
Hispanics don't vote for whoever gives them amnesty. If that was the case they would still be voting republican since reagan gave them amnesty in 1986. The truth is they vote for who gives them handouts.
If Hispanics are voting for handouts then we're doomed, because there's more and more of them every day, and fewer whites. So in the end, we will have a one-party state with Democrats in charge of everything.
You can't give people just one thing and expect them to love you forever. They aren't puppies. You need to be consistent. Expecting Hispanics to vote Republican when all the GOP wants to do is ruin the lives of their friends and neighbors is slightly misguided thinking.
