"Our current laws have been ignored so long that lawyers and activist groups get these people off. With new rules in place, they can't say "this is the way it's always done".

If the old laws (perfectly good laws) didn't work, what makes the "new" laws any more enforceable?

Registration.

To play under the new rules, 8 million illegals have to finally register with our government (something that we gun owners positively refuse to do because Registration empowers the government over people).

Without this new plan, our government doesn't know where all 8 million illegals are located. Once they register, we will know...and that changes everything.

OK, one more time (sigh). A law which has not been enforced for decades can be fought in court as selective enforcement. I want us to go after the employers, these guys have big bucks to pay lawyers, and they will spend them to employ lawyers as well as illegal aliens.

A new law starts out fresh, gives everyone the rules, and the minute someone breaks it you can come down on them like a ton of bricks. Given the national security situation they wouldn't have an inch of wiggle room because they were given a remedy, had the ramifacations spelled out for them, and if they ignored it under those circumstances there would be NO EXCUSE.
