Before "reform" morphed into "amnesty" people on both sides were calling for it because it was and is recognized as being broken. After the bipartisan gang of eight incorporated amnesty into a baseline "reform" scheme our side had to fall back on fixing the system we have.
(Which, of course, would be equivalent to reform under less toxic conditions.)

By now we're ready for mere enforcement of the imperfect system we have.

Unless the debate returns to focus on whether we do or do not reward existing lawbreakers (at the expense of minorities and legal immigrants), and whether or not we continue to interpret the 14th Amendment according to a random penciled comment in the margins of notes taken by just one justice, the debate is doomed to an aimless feud that will end only when overcome by the event of a ruined nation.

AND: Lest anyone accuse me of being soft on illegals and/or "diversity", my hometown recently declared itself the "Northern capital of latin America" in its application for another Olympics and today's news touted L.A's almost 49% Hispanic population.
Oh frabjous day!

Rubberio’s Gang wasn’t when “reform” morphed into amnesty. That was all the way back in 2006 with McCain/Kennedy.
In fact that was what W. meant when he kept saying it in 2000 at the same time he was saying “no amnesty”, what he really meant was amnesty.

Amnesty is the only remedy considered by those who are responsible for the flood of fraudulently documented foreigners which started the day after the last amnesty which was supposed to be a “one time, never to be repeated” action.

There was never any intent to fully implement the laws they passed to prevent another amnesty guaranteeing the need for another in their minds.

We were scammed in 1986 and have been fighting tooth and nail to avoid the same scam again since they started pushing for it again in 2006.
