You implied people are "xenophobic" for wanting our laws enforced Didn't say that, you only said I did. But I do not think xenophobic policies are wise.
Also I might add it's been pointed out to you numerous times on this thread few are calling for massive door to door deportations But some are calling for massive deportations.
Better yet, just enforce the law, jail all the business owners (small and large) who hire illegals when they cannot find workers. This is a loser for the political party that does this.
We've been down the legalize them road before and we're not going to fall for it again.Previously we issued Green Cards in amnesty and then did not enforce the border. Temporary visas with a strong border and deportation has not been done previously.
Incidently, what do you see as goals in immigration? The goals not the methods.
What's "xenophobic policies" to you, enforcing the law? Since that's what most of us want you are basically calling us xenophobes. We're not a bunch of first graders here so please knock off the "it depends on the meaning of 'is' is" routine.
But some are calling for massive deportations.
Maybe some are but that's not going to happen and it's not the only option other than legalizing them as you keep implying. A policy of attrition, which includes secure borders would go a long way toward solving the problem.
Previously we issued Green Cards in amnesty and then did not enforce the border. Temporary visas with a strong border and deportation has not been done previously.
Nor we will see enforcement in any new program. How many times does it have to be pointed out that when it comes to immigration the government simply refuses to do it so excuse us for our cynical attitudes that will suddenly change with a new guest worker program.

As far as low-wage, low-skilled workers go that was already explained to you in a previous post you obviously didn't read.
Didn't we prosecute a bunch of Wal-Mart employees who hired some illegal contractors? Was there a huge public outcry?
We don't need to put many people in jail. Once employers see that we are serious, they will get their act together.
