My suggestion for a compromise bill would be one requiring placement of troops on the southern border, three feet apart, and welcome "guest workers" who score 150 or more on a standard IQ test administered by the Border Patrol. Anyone hoping to enter scoring less than that would be turned back.
Now you're talking. About the only "stand" we can take at this point is to literally stand at the border. The new intel bill called for 2,000 new BP agents per year x 5 years and was reportedly scaled back to 200 for the coming year. I don't get it.
