“In the old days, maybe 100 years ago, when my wife's grandmother came here, you had to work. If you didn't work, you were in fear of being sent home,” he said. “There needs to be a little bit of that tough love. So, we select out for people who have strong work ethic and I would say, by the way, most immigrants who come here have maybe better work ethic than some of those who are already here.”
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Democrats are playing hardball over illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children because they believe they’ll get what they want, and are therefore unwilling to compromise.
Paul said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday that he’s been negotiating with Democrats on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program for months but has gotten no where. He said that’s because the minority party is haughtily unwilling to compromise.
He said he’s floated a deal where all the Dreamers could be admitted to the country as legal immigrants and count toward the number of immigrants allowed in during that year.
