You have actually hit on the *WHY* so many conservatives are dead set against "comprehensive immigration reform". We *DID* 'give on amnesty' before, and got nothing but broken promises in return. We do not care to go down that same road again, for we are not, after all, fools.
Any promises given to us in exchange for giving in on amnesty will, just like the last time, be unfulfilled "hot air", and we know it. We are not "Charlie Brown" forever suckered into attempting to kick a football which is going to be pulled away...

Well said but, the game is on anyway whther we want it to be or not. wWe need e-card identification, fines for employers employing illegal immigrants, sero ccess to social services unless one has some sort of legal status, renewed social security card practices, etc. I’m just saying this is our main goal. We may have to play games ourselves to get this but, this is our end game. Also, we need to do a much better job presenting the financial data as justification for these desires. We need to stop saying we’re against ‘illegal immigration’ and start saying we’re for ‘financially responsible immigration’. It’s time to join the fight and stop complaining. The game is on!!!!
