"How about doing border security first?"

Why not both? Your case was not convincing.

Not convincing?

Lemme see - Reagan signed an amnesty and did not secure the border. Illegal immigration increased.

Bush started talking guest worker program without the border secured. Illegal immigration increased.

It has long been a tenet of conservatism that if government rewards bad behavior, you tend to get more of it. And that is clearly the case here. If we fail to secure the border and have either a guest worker program or some kind of amnesty or both, history CLEARLY shows it will only increase illegal immigration as people stream here to be in position for the next legislation trying to deal with the fact that we left the door open.
