Why Immigration Reform Can’t Do What the Gang of Eight Says It Will

This show dissected the commentary coming from the President and Gang of Eight in the Senate about immigration reform with Jon Feere, legal analyst at the Center for Immigration Studies.

President Obama and his allies are repeating a number of talking points designed to elicit support for “earned legalization”, where illegal aliens must meet certain criteria, including paying fines, passing background checks, pay back taxes, learn English, and the most famous one “go to the back of the line.” These principles, however, when meting through immigration law and bureaucratic complexities, , alonside what history tells us, don’t actually make sense or in some cases, are simply self-contradictory.
