As immigration debate begins, sides stick with core arguments on issues of amnesty, cost | Fox News
As the Senate begins its full, weeks-long debate on a wide-ranging immigration bill, both sides are expected to stick to several key, battle-tested points — with supporters arguing no easy path to citizenship and critics warning the plan is really amnesty and an open door to welfare.Supporters should emphasize that 100 percent of the U.S.-Mexican border will be put under surveillance, that immigrants who gain legal status won’t be eligible for welfare “for over a decade” and that anyone entering the United States unlawfully in the future will be barred from legal status.That’s the poll-tested advice distributed to Senate Democrats, on a measure that poses the best chance in years to overhaul the nation’s immigration system.via As immigration debate begins, sides stick with core arguments on issues of amnesty, cost | Fox News.
