“I would just say it's not good for the country to have 11 million people here who we don't know who they are, where they're living. They're not paying taxes, but they're showing up in emergency rooms. They're driving up the cost of auto insurance 'cause they don't have driver's licenses and are getting into accidents. They're having children, which are US citizens. So, I mean, it's an issue that needs to be dealt with.” PeopleKnowsNeedsMeanChildrenCountryCausesRoomsMillionsIssuesCitizensCostTaxesAccidentsDrivingImmigrationDriversEmergenciesLicenseShowing UpHaving ChildrenIllegal ImmigrationPaying TaxesEmergency RoomLicenses Author:Marco Rubio
“I believe we're at the verge of the greatest time to be alive in this world. But Washington is holding us back. How we tax, how we regulate. We're not embracing the energy revolution in our midst, a broken immigration system that has been politicized rather than turning it into an economic driver. We're not protecting and preserving our entitlement system or reforming for the next generation. All these things languish while we have politicians in Washington using these as wedge issues.” WorldBelieveHas BeensNextEnergyI BelieveIssuesAliveGenerationsEconomicThis WorldBrokenRevolutionPoliticianTaxesImmigrationMidstDriversNext GenerationEntitlementVergeWedgesLanguish Author:Jeb Bush

“If you want to really sort of quantify the dereliction of the Republican establishment, those two facts are the most important two facts. One, that they didn`t even understand the base of their own party, white working class voters who you know what, don`t care about tax cuts for the rich, really aren`t interested in the things that the elite part of their party want, including immigration reform. And number two, they spent eight months avoiding finding opposition research to use against the guy who was becoming the front-runner in their party that they don`t want.” IfsKnowsWantTwoImportantFactsUseCareGuyWhitePartyNumbersClassRichCuttingFrontsMonthsBecomingRepublicanTaxesFindingsResearchIncludingDon't CareEightImmigrationReformOppositionVotersEstablishmentElitesWorking ClassRunnersAvoidingTax CutsImmigration ReformWho You Know Author:Chris Hayes
“I think, again, the overall intellectual structure of the speech is very much consistent with what Donald Trump has been saying on the campaign trail. He's against free trade. He's against immigration.

“What does have a chance of becoming law is a process that begins with securing the border. Currently the border is not secure and not just immigrants are coming across, but also drugs, weapons a whole series of problems. And I think that if you can prove to the American people that illegal immigration is under control, I think that the American people are willing to do something very reasonable about people who have been here for many years, who are not criminals, who are going to pay a fine, who are going to pay taxes, who are working.” PeopleIfsThinkingYearsDoeHas BeensWholeProblemLawProcessChancePayWillingFineBecomingDrugProveTaxesWeaponsSeriesCriminalsImmigrationSecureBordersReasonableImmigrantsIllegalIllegal Immigration Author:Marco Rubio

Hillary and I want a bipartisan reform that will put keeping families together as the top goal, second, that will help focus enforcement efforts on those who are violent, third, that will do more border control, and, fourth, that will provide a path to citizenship for those who work hard, pay taxes, play by the rules, and take criminal background record checks.” BelieveHelpingTogetherChoicesI BelieveGoalEffortPathFocusHard WorkTaxesViolentImmigrationCitizenshipFamily Together Author:Tim Kaine
