I can see your point, but, actually, what came to mind is that the alternative could be summed up in four words: enforce the current law. No need to say it; the way I see it, that's the default.

I agree that enforcing the current law should be the "default" setting, but that is not working at the moment. There is another thread from a Fox News article about that failure, which I gather is caused by a combination of three factors: inadequate (or at least improperly allocated) enforcement resources, loopholes in the laws, and judges that interfere with enforcement. Any or all of these should be fixable, but I am afraid that may be like putting a band-aid on an aortic blow-out.
