But I do not think xenophobic policies are wise.

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.

Incidently, what do you see as goals in immigration?

As far as low-wage, low-skilled workers go that was already explained to you in a previous post you obviously didn't read.

If there is no enforcement, no policy at all will work.

Since that's what most of us want you are basically calling us xenophobes. I did not say this you did. What the heck are you talking about "it depends on the meaning of 'is' is".

...most of us... Generally, anyone with a different view on legal and illegal immigration is attacked when the issue arises here so I suppose only those with a certain view stick around.
