I thought we already have a guest worker program... What is wrong with it?

How about securing the borders? I guess modifying the guest-worker program is more important than securing the border and who´s to say guest workers will refuse to leave once they get here?

Wow, amnesty certainly is a detriment to more illegals coming to the country isn´t it? What an idiotic statement, " If we don´t do amnesty now there will be 10 M more in a decade."And only an idiot would think this statement makes any sense at all.

Rubio´s plan along with his gang of 8 crumbs is amnesty pure and simple it starts on day 1, without any upgrade to border security at all, just more empty promises that will never be fulfilled we´ve heard it all before.

I will never vote for this man, because he refuses to uphold the laws of the United States of America.

We are never going to deport everyone who came here illegally so it would be helpful to have a plan that we can actually enact.

If they can´t get jobs or benefits, they will self deport. I also think there should be a hugh fee on every dollar they send back to their home country.

Perhaps Rubio is telling us who he really is. It´s who I thought he was all along.

Just like blacks can´t see past the color of their skin, he can´t see beyond his ethnicity.

Frankly, I am sick of the tail wagging the dog.

If the greatness of the United States was built on the backs of anyone, it was built of the backs of the Chinese who built the railroads, the true backbone of America´s success. I don´t see their Chinese descendents whinning their asses off with the "you owe me" attitude of our two biggest minorities.

One other question. Who is going to benefit from a "solid guest-worker program"? I´d just like to know because Rubio and no other politician alive now or ever is doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Follow the money.

Reason number one that I will never-never-NEVER vote for this mook. Not ever. We are not so short of criminals and goons that we must arrange to acquire more. And illegal aliens are C-R-I-M-I-N-A-L-S. At best.

And whatever became of Title 8 Section 1325 of The United States Code?

This seems to be the only drum Rubio beats. I am becoming convinced that he would be the Hispanic Obama if ever elected to the presidency.

Exactly no. 1. We have a guest worker program, but it´s easier to break the law. Immigration reform means slow walking amnesty, surrender of our sovereignty and open borders.

This single solution approach ignores the obvious: Kick them out; keep them out; build a very large wall. It worked in East Germany.

The government can´t even control the borders, and I should trust them to run a guest worker program? Congress needs to stop writing immigration laws and start putting the heat on the Executive Branch to control the border, to enforce the laws on the books, and to stop using Executive Orders to get around the laws.

American citizens will not be able to bear the cost of their own children. They will have to support minorities and illegals.

Rubio is wrong. The US Congress should decide the number of foreign workers allowed into the USA based upon US labor needs and how so-called foreign guest workers would affect the wages and working conditions of US workers, and not on a guess of how many prospective illegal aliens might want to sneak into the USA in the next ten years.

The way to keep prospective illegal aliens out of the USA is to effectively enforce laws like an enhanced e-verify system working in conjunction with a modern US social security card with a digital photograph so that employers will know exactly who they are hiring, and that the social security card presented to them is being used by its lawful bearer and not some illegal alien impostor.

Such an enhanced e-verify system with electronic verification would also tell employers that the social security card presented to them is a valid card and not a counterfeit. Once such an employee verification system is up and running in no time the word would get out to prospective illegal aliens around the world that if they come here they will not be able to get any US job worth them having. Once that happens most illegal aliens, other then criminals, will not longer come here. That´s they way to stop mass uncontrolled illegal immigration.

Unfortunately both libertarian Republicans who want an unlimited supply of foreign cheap labor by legalizing future illegal aliens through guest worker programs and the liberal Democrats who want to make every illegal alien, and every guest worker, an eventual liberal Democrat voter always fight such common sense immigration enforcement initiatives tooth and nail. that´s why there is an out of control illegal alien problem now.
