In the 80s, when Reagan got suckered by the left into granting amnesty for the estimated 3 million illegals, it was with the condition that Congress follow through and secure the border.
We know how that turned out. As I understand it, the current bill pushes amnesty first and then (can you guess?) . . . . . . . securing the border. So, IOW, Congress is, again, doing what it does so well, kicking the can down the road.
IMO, you are correct. 20, 30, 15 years from now, we will STILL be discusing what to do with all the illegals that have flooded into the country and the borders will STILL not be secure. We have laws on the books that cover imigration very nicely, but the feds don’t want to enforce them. Therein lies the stalemate.
The border will never be secured with the current administration. No matter who they repacle “Big Sis” with it will only get worse.That’s the way these chicago thugs work.
