No, it musn't. I would not accept any amnesty deal that did not include greatly strengthened border security. Build a fence. Require that the number of INS agents assigned full-time to the border not drop below a certain number. If that happens, the law bars additional grants of amnesty. Add in a proviso linking number of new illegals to stopping of amnesty. Lots of things you could do.
The key to any plan is stopping the flow of new illegals. No plan, of any kind, can work without securing the borders. It's the first priority.
I will never support amnesty. NO COMPROMISE.
No compromise? Okay, then I assume you're willing to accept a status quo that has seen the number of illegals quadruple in the last two decades.
I'm not. I want that border secured. But if that's not that important to you, I suppose you're entitled to your opinion.
The reason is has quadrupled is a direct result of repeated, and continued, amnesty.
