"You failed to deliver on the promises made after passage of Simpson-Mazzoli in 1986."

Oh they delivered on that bill alright, and then some.

The bill did not call for a secure border, it merely threw money at "enforcement". Eventually some agents were added, but far too few. But what good is hiring more agents if there's a catch and release policy?

One of the primary problems with current immigration law is that illegal entry is classified as a misdemeanor, understating the seriousness of the crime.

Thus, one objective of "immigration reform" should be to re-classify illegal entry as a felony.
