DREAMER to Obama: DACA changed our lives / Immigration Reform - Video
I've come up with a fabulous plan to deal with the estimated 11 million people who are in this country illegally.
Call Uber. Maybe the U.S. government can get a high-volume group discount, and deport everybody for a minimum rate of $2.40 per person.
If that's too unwieldy, send in reinforcements. Call Mears and Greyhound and Amtrak, although that would be my last option, since those desperados would probably jump off a train before it crossed the border.
But hey, immigration problem fixed! Deport them all!
Perhaps the obstinate core of GOP naysayers opposing immigration reform have a better idea?
Right now they're just stomping their little feet and screaming "No!" It's the equivalent of Johnny having a little temper tantrum if mommy doesn't buy him the new "Grand Theft Auto" video game.
Be careful, America. It's no video game: Those immigrants are poised to steal the very foundation of our country. Next thing you know, mariachi bands and piatas will be required at all birthday parties.
Color me delusional or if you prefer, whacky liberal socialist but I'm a little bit optimistic that we can work things out.
I stand with my president on immigration reform.
"Although the Congress has not addressed our broken immigration system by passing comprehensive reform legislation, my administration will continue to take every possible step to build upon the progress already made."

Tame the temper, GOP: Show compassion on immigration
In a departure from the tone of much of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Jeb Bush stuck to his more moderate Republican guns Friday afternoon.
During an interview with conservative talk show host Sean Hannity, Bush reiterated his belief in immigration reform, saying that his plan "also includes a path to legal status."
Fox News' Hannity attacked this policy fissure with the conservative base, pointing to Bush's stances on immigration and education reforms as the two major areas of disagreement.

"I know there's disagreement here," Bush said, acknowledging boos that came from the right wing crowd. "I feel your pain. I was in MIami this morning, it was 70 degrees."
"But there is no plan to deport 11 million people," Bush continued. "We should give them a path for legal status where they work, they don't get government benefits, where they learn English."
And though he prioritized security along the nation's border, he believed the GOP could also broker an agreement on other reform possibilities.
"Let's do it. Let's control the border," Bush said. "There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing that holds back the Republicans from putting a comprehensive plan in place to do it."
He further defended positions he took on other controversial immigration measures while he was the top executive of Florida, including in-state tuition and driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.
