Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is claiming amnesty is necessary so that the United States can determine the identity of illegal aliens in the country. However, basic enforcement of existing immigration law is all that is necessary to acquire their identities. Instead of promoting amnesty, Sen. Rubio could demand that the Obama administration enforce 8 U.S.C. section 1302, "Registration of Aliens," which makes it "the duty of every alien" to register their presence in the United States if they remain here 30 days or longer. Failure to do so results in a fine of up to $1,000 and/or imprisonment up to six months.

First ... Pretty create use of the word amnesty. Secondly poor math. There are at least 30 - 40 million and counting illegals in the US. The last I saw 40% and growing are visa overstays. If wants a count why not visit local 'safety net' offices. If Rubio believes this piece of rubbish I have a bridge to tell him.
