RE: Accept the reality and try to reform the laws to deal with it as best possible.

That is what I mean when I say the President should be up front. "Accept the reality. . . and deal with it as best possible."

Don't suggest that a shiny new law is needed -- what's needed for example is the curtailment of the immigrant "rights" industry and an attitude change from business about respect for laws.

It would help business if government would cooperate and enforce existing laws. That is the reality.

Here's one step that would help me cut some slack for the President, et al.,

The Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 41 says "1. Without prejudice to their privileges and immunities, it is the duty of all persons enjoying such privileges and immunities to respect the laws and regulations of the receiving State. They also have a duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of that State."

Go before the public and state clearly, "Stop meddling in our internal affair, Mr. Fox." Repeat often.

Your other points are good; e.g., "current immigration laws don't reflect the economic reality" and "Those who believe that we can seal the borders aren't living in the real world."

But require much debate. To wit, "economic reality" as in an artificially created glut of labor? We can at least try to enforce current laws (re: borders). They are not broken they are being broken and, except for a narrow focus, no one seems to be willing to fight the immigrant "rights" industry and the cheap-labor lobby.

More reality: the same thing will happen when we have shiny new laws.

"It would help business if government would cooperate and enforce existing laws. That is the reality. "

Well why don't you try to do something constructive like get your local city police department or precinct constable or local sheriff or whatever to simply enforce the immigration laws in your little area.

If illegals are such a big problem in your life you obviously can tell them which businesses are employing illegals. Instead of sitting at a keyboard demanding that the President Of The United States Of America do what you desire, just get your neighbors together and get you little local law to do it.

You will soon learn what is meant by economic reality.
