You are trying to seperate amnesty from the cause and effect. The 86 amnesty was meant for a few hundred thousand. It pulled in over 3 million. Now we are talking 12 million. Amnesty is conducive to the problem.

Once illegal immigration has been effectively curtailed, the only question left, is what to do about those illegal aliens currently in the country?

If we havent been doing anything about those currently in the country then illegal immigration wont be effectively curtailed. The first place we have to start enforcing the law is inside the country. Amnesty would destroy any success.

The amnesty would be granted to legalize those illegal aliens we did not effectively deter from coming into the country. Any future illegal aliens would be deported according to the immigration laws.

UH uhhh... Gee when have I heard that before...

You don't seem to be following my argument very well. I will have to assume at this point it is because you are being lazy, aren't that bright, or are willfully doing so.

When you wish to become more engaged, I'll be waiting...
