From Wednesday night’s Fox News All-Stars.

On whether Marco Rubio’s call for the GOP to change its language from being against illegal immigration to being for legal immigration makes sense:

It does, but I think there is also another way to approach it, which is to say that [those in] opposition to the Arizona law or another law that is going to curtail illegal immigration and [those] who want “comprehensive” reform are disingenuous. Comprehensive is a code for amnesty.
The problem is that unless you close the border first, unless you have serious enforcement — which, as we see from Arizona and other states, people who live there know [that] nobody in the federal government is serious about it — until you have that, you have to suspend the issue of amnesty. Otherwise, you are going to be inviting half of Latin America and the rest of the world to enter the United States and ultimately enjoy another amnesty.
If you got a closure of the border — and it’s not hard to do, it doesn’t require high-tech stuff, it’s done in other parts of the world — then you would get a national consensus to legalize illegal immigrants here today. We are a humane society. We will do it. But not if it’s an open invitation for more illegal immigration.
It seems to me that the Republicans ought to argue enforcement first — and then a very generous, open and humane solution for those already here.
