It was broken on purpose by the last FOUR Presidents.
The laws were written by Democrats and Bush League Republicans to be full of holes and hard to enforce deliberately to flood the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.
I disagree, Lurk.
I trace the collapse all the way back to the Ronald Reagan Amnesty (IRCA) in 1986.
Reagan had an amazing first term, but by 1986 he was drifting Left on almost every issue.
I also reject the “Trump Is Helpless” excuse.
If that’s true, Trump should have mention it BEFORE we elected him president.
Before 2015, Trump was always an immigration dove.
As far as I’m concerned - on the immigration issue - everything Trump has said or done since 2015 has been political theater.
Exactly right. We were seeing these types coming in since '04 when I started patrolling the border. The one that we saw in mass were Chinese (really increased during Obama) and wonder why they did not make the list. Possibly because the market for them is more in Texas (Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas/FW) to man the Chinese spit factories they call restaurants.
