We have to turn the page,” says Simon campaign strategist Sal Russo.

It is not BROKEN because of a structural flaw with respect to established, legislated law; it is broken because the Obama Cartel refuses to enforce the laws, period.
Because a so-called leader refuses to enforce the law is no reason to invalidate the laws and replace them, and our sovereignty with a system that will invite the entirety of the 3rd and 4th world’s economic orphans into our midst.
It happened in 1986. It was called the Simpson-Mazzoli Act.
Time for Border Security funding only.
The key, which seems to escape Russo WHILE he utters the words, is that the law TODAY is unenforced... Newer shiny laws WILL be enforced? Only if they continue to promote mass migration methinks.

“Our laws today are unenforced and citizens and companies who play by the rules are undermined by bad actors who do not.”
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winnah!
And, there is the solution...enforce the current laws.
The rest of that drivel is just BS.
Immigration Law, like so many regulations passed in our midst over the years, may also present an onerous burden when it comes to enforcement. “Fixing” the system may indeed include additional work toward stricter enforcement, greater security at the border, etc. But it would not be surprising at all if existing law ties our hands.
Unless we want the status quo, I suggest we take a good long look at current practice and refrain knee jerk sound bytes. It is not as simple as “just enforce the current laws.” That may be a sorry path to take in view of how the Feds create and enforce laws in the first place.
Sal isn’t selling out, it is what he believed all along, he is just coming out of the closet showing that he is really a liberal/fascist..
Our laws today are unenforced and citizens and companies who play by the rules are undermined by bad actors who do not. ......
Congress must pass legislation ....

There are about a dozen major things that need correcting before serious immigration reform should take place, chief among them being the enforcement of existing laws, but equally pressing is reforming our welfare and social services systems to reduce the impact of immigrants, legal and illegal. Honorable mention should be given to the dismal job market, including job creation and job quality. Job murdering aspects of Obamacare are still lingering around the corner, and Tea Party leaders are burning political capital on immigration reform. It is stupid.
The only part that’s broken is the enforcement part. The only ‘fix’ they offer is to make enforcement even slacker.
In a way, I agree that conservatives need to do something on immigration.
First, enforce the existent laws. If there are specific laws on the books that are unenforceable (as in, self-contradictory, not just that they are difficult), repeal them through legislative action.
Then, finish the danged border fence (that is already provided for in law).
Then, observe the results. Based on any problems created for citizens of the US, make adjustments after 5-10 years. Issues created for illegals should be ignored.
