Never going to happen. The truth that the Republicans don't want to admit is that more Mexicans are leaving the U.S. than entering it these days. There are more undocumented Asian immigrants than Latin when it comes to recent arrivals. The presence of border guards on the southern border has doubled over the past decade.

The claim of "porous borders" is sheer nonsense. Look it up.

Mexicans by and large come to the U.S. for better financial opportunities. But as the economy in Mexico improves, some go back, and others are discouraged from leaving. The number of undocumented immigrants in this country is now lower. Again, the Republicans are afraid to admit this fact.

What we know about illegal immigration from Mexico

Another talking point is the false allegation that the failed immigration reform bill of which Rubio was a key architect — before he bailed when the going got tough — was an amnesty bill. There was no amnesty in it. It provisioned an expensive and lengthy path to legalization, which is the polar opposite of amnesty. The last amnesty bill was passed during the Reagan administration.
