No, I’d say enforce the laws on the books now as we secure the border. If voters don’t like the laws, change them. I understand my position does not resolve the underlying problems but I don’t think we can fix it with one overall bill. Besides, if Democrats won’t enforce the laws today what makes anyone think they’ll enforce anything new?

IMHO, it’s better to put off the border problems until we have a Republican Senate to support our Republican House. Once that’s in place maybe we can get some things accomplished.

I do agree this whole thing is 0bama forcing immigration as a campaign issue to help Democrats. I’d say stall or make the bills too hard for Democrats to support them for now. We need to address these issues next year with a new congress that really represents the voters.

I agree. Comprehensive immigration reform, whatever that means must be done in increments. But that is not the way Washington addresses problems.

MHO, it’s better to put off the border problems until we have a Republican Senate to support our Republican House. Once that’s in place maybe we can get some things accomplished.

The problem is that you need a bill now to address conditions at the border. This will become the Christmas Tree to hang comprehensive immigration reform on.
