Better no bill than a guest worker amnesty.

Better no bill than a guest worker amnesty

Could you please explain that a bit? Because it makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

Right now, there are two basic immigration problems. The first is a porous border through which a new flood of illegals can enter the country almost at will. The second is the crop of illegals that are already here. And obviously, a continuation of the first problem makes the second one worse over time.

"No bill" means that our borders remain unsecured, and the current crop of illegals keep doing what they're doing. How is that preferable to a bill that shuts down new immigration, and gives a limited amnesty to some of the illegals already here? You might not like the idea of an amnesty, but is that really any different functionally from them remaining here under the status quo?

Wrong!

If they have to give to get a FENCE built that stops future illegals then it's worth it. Nobody is shipping 11-15 million people out of here, so the key issue is how to stop the FUTURE flow of illegals.
