The Stealth Amnesty of Mike Pence

[Vulcan]

13 JUNE 2006:

Pence calls his plan a “middle ground” proposal, a “no amnesty immigration reform” in which “securing our border is the first step.”

This is fraudulent. At the heart of the Pence plan is amnesty. Illegal aliens here return to Mexico for one week with an assurance they can come back to their jobs. Down there, they visit “Ellis Island Centers” to register as “guest workers” and return with “work permits.” The illegal are made legal and put on a path to citizenship.

The only difference between the Pence plan and the Kennedy-Bush amnesty is the one-week vacation employers would happily fund, as it means blanket amnesty for them as well as their illegal hires.

Amnesty can be defined as any plan that does not require ILLEGAL aliens already in the US to leave, go home and apply for a work visa in order to stay or enter the country legally. Pence asserted his plan met this test by requiring all ILLEGAL aliens now employed to cross the Mexican border and then return one week later to the same jobs with their freshly minted work permits.  That sounds a whole lot like the plan of the orange New York liberal.  So according to Pence, if ILLEGAL aliens suffer the inconvenience of a one-week trip to the border and back, they can stay but that would somehow not be amnesty.  Only a moron would agree.

It is exactly Trumps plan.  They get a vacation home on us.  Then they get to come back and work at those jobs that Americans mistakenly thought were going to become available to them.  Oh those illegals are such hard workers!

Indeed it is Trump's plan.  And I believe at least some Trump faithful support him because it is.
