What's the Deal?

What's the Deal?

"But a clever-sounding deal that legalizes immigrants as laborers but not as citizens risks disaster on both fronts: rejection by Hispanics as insufficient and ultimately insulting, and rejection by many of America's tired, poor, huddled workers as another example of the political class's indifference to their fate."

What if we offered less desirable potential emigrants the deal that they could work here but couldn't become citizens , vote, or obtain welfare benefits? In addition, suppose their children (born in the US) would be eligible for all of that? Why is that not a good deal?

By the way, they are not less desirable because of their race but because they are uneducated and lacking in skills.
