I think we can all agree and safely say that what we have today, is border enfarcement.
They can come up with all the laws they want, but when enforcement is spotty, nothing good will come of it.
Reagan signed a decent set of laws. When enforce they work. That’s the problem. They aren’t enforced.

None of these men cared enough about our nation to enforce our immigration laws.
O not only did not enforce immigration law; he did exactly the opposite by issuing papers to illegals. I think this was part of a plan to provide an excuse for RINOs to vote for amnesty with the excuse, “We already have de facto amnesty.”
Well if so, why does Congress need to legalize them too? Maybe they are afraid that a GOP POTUS would reverse the policy, but I can’t imagine that happening short of a miracle candidate.
Of course they tried to use that in 2007 too, but GWB did not give out papers to all of them (although maybe he ws tempted).
