What's this?

Temporary? Again you are making up issues that simply

don’t exist because you can’t justify the citizenship issue.

These people came here illegally without any guarantee of becoming legal residents or citizens. Giving them a way to become legal residents with the ability to raise a family and make a living without the chance of becoming trapped in working conditions with no legal protections. That’s what they want and that’s what I suggest. There’s nothing temporary with what I suggested.

What I have suggested is basically amnesty and open boarders, two issues that Dems would give their left nut for. Yet you oppose this simply because adding 20m voters isn’t on the table. So tell me again who’s being unreasonable.

Anyway we’re not going to move each other very much, much like the rest of the country and politicians. But it’s always a decent conversation with you and I appreciate that. Good evening.
