"If we want to create an immigration policy that's going to work, we can't continue to make illegal immigration an easier path than legal immigration," Bush said on NBC's "Today" show. "I think it's important that there's a natural friction between our immigrant heritage and the rule of law. This is the right place, I think, to be in that sense."
He then goes on to state
Quote:
"Half the people in '86 that could have gotten amnesty didn't apply. Many people don't want to be citizens of our country," he said. "They want to come here, they want to work hard, they want to provide for their families. Some of them want to come home; not necessarily all of them want to stay as citizens."
While I don't trust Jeb Bush and what his motives might be he does have a point. This push for a path to citizenship isn't necessarily what an illegal immigrant wants and it certainly isn't what is good for our country and makes a mockery out of our legal immigration system.
I don't however want illegal immigrants to have amnesty/legalization or a path to citizenship for the same reasons.
The President says Citizenship and the Republicans say Legalization and the inevitable gets done.
It is wrong to claim that all or even most Republican in congress are saying that it is inevetible that illegal immigrants will get legalization and least of all a path to citizenship.

Show me where I said...in congress.
You give me a firm number of Republicans in congress that accept Legalization and I will accept it.
Well we saw that when amnesty was not supported by voters in the Bush years that other so called reforms were not pushed forward. Refrom is just amnesty hidden in other meaures as we saw in the 80's reform bill. Amnesty bill with window dressing called reform only is what 80's was;bush proposal was and now this new so called reform.
