How does that disarm the Republicans?

Banning them from US citizenship for life (with the exception of citizenship granted for military service) is sucky to me but it would disarm the “take our country back” element.

One of the biggest fears the right wing racist jack-offs have is that the illegals are taking over the USA and amnesty would help that process along. It’s bullshit but we live in an age where the bullshit is treated as a reality.

If this GOP base - and on some things it can still be a force and obstruct laws - can be disarmed by telling them that the illegals will not have voting rights for life (kids and military service exceptions) then that would make the GOP, which is afraid of losing because of demographics become more pliable when this fear is abated by the “no citizenship” clause.

And the “no citizenship for life” clause would only apply to one generation of illegals not to their kids.

See, I am trying to think up of ways to work around GOP intransigence in such ways as painful as it is to my sensibilities.
