Oh yeah!
We need to push a NEW bill called "FEDS." 1) FENCE (build it) 2) ENFORCE (the law) 3) DEPORT (as many as possible) 4) SANCTION (all employers who violate the law)
While the 4 things you mention need to be done you're doing the same the the current group of twits is doing...bundling!
One thing at a time! Build the fence. When that is DONE, and only then, move on to steps 2-4. These are individual steps, not a bunch of steps that can be lumped together. There is no expectation of any of them getting done if they're all passed at the same time. IMO that's one of the problems with the bill now...too much at one time.
As masters of incrementalism you would think that such a thing would be a natural for Democrats. Perhaps it's just an "issue specific" thing and illegal immigration isn't as "issue specific" as say gun control.

Or, conversely, you might consider that there has been incrementalism on illegal immigration and the proposed legalization of so many illegals is the culmination of incrementalism starting from 1965’s immigration bill.

Yup... put up all 800+ miles of it first... eradicate the 'sanctuary-cities' and 'anchor baby' enablements and then we'll talk. No “trust & verify” on this issue. We agreed to that in 1965 and 1986 and got hosed on both occasions.
