Recently (May 14,2014), Sal Russo of the Tea Party Express wrote an op-ed titled, “Conservatives Need to Fix the Broken Immigration System.” In this op-ed, Russo addresses several different aspects of the "immigration" issue. While there are many parts of his op-ed that I actually agree with, make no mistake, color it any way you want to, he is advocating amnesty. According to Russo:
“Finally, we need to make the 11 million people who are here illegally obey the law, pay taxes and come out of the shadows. We have to get them right by the law in exchange for legal status, but not unbridled amnesty. This should include penalties, background checks to root out criminals, and the requirement that they learn English, understand the Constitution and be committed to our basic freedoms.” ~~ Sal Russo
