>>Either a compromise is reached or nothing gets done and millions more come here illegally and we do not know who they are.<<
Bush and others have demonstrated they have no will to enforce existing laws, and a new law will not create that will to do so. Either
1) a “compromise” amnesty which encourages even more illegal immigration, with no will to enforce our laws, with the same fools in charge, and a huge bureaucracy to administer the millions of new visas, and the courts granting new social benefits that we have to pay for, or
2) no amnesty, less incentive for illegals to come here, and again, no will to enforce our existing laws.
Enforcement and amnesty in the same bill don’t work. We proved that in 1986. We should enact the biometric ID and start busting businesses, and after that see if it is working, and then vote on amnesty. Later.
We should wait to see if we can elect fewer fools if we can’t pass a decent immigration bill.
