Visa Overstayers is a growing and tremendous problem that could be solved if we had a computerized entry and exit system. But we never get one. The US government doesn’t want to keep tabs on the comings and goings of foreigners

This is so ridiculous

The bill does nothing to increase legal immigration, which is the only realistic way to decrease illegal immigration.

This statement alone is such an insult to our intelligence. The same argument was made in 1990, increase legal immigration to slow the illegals. So they doubled the numbers and what good did it do, since then illegal immigration has exploded because there's been enforcement and even the slightest of it brings out the whiners like Paul Gigot who have no problem hurling race bombs to stop it.

The cheap labor pimps could do us a big favor by moving to some country where everyone is packed in and where's little living space and tell us how much they like it. Until then they'll have to get it through their heads we can't take in the world for the sake of helping their portfolios.
