There are some good elements in this proposal, especially increasing the resources and manpower to secure our border and also improving and streamlining legal immigration.

To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally.
