The word “comprehensive” when attached to legislation is a terrific warning sign. They tend to be huge giveaways, earmarks, pork, or downright bribes, while hiding those bits in hundreds of pages of “legislativese.”
The whole “immigration” dispute could be settled quite easily...
When your house if flooding from a broken pipe, you don’t start by bringing in plumbers to give you an estimate about fixing the problem. You turn off the water as the first step.
In this case, the first step is to seal the border, to ensure the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens here in the US are the last ones to come in. Once we’ve cut off the flow of more illegal aliens, then we can discuss what to do with them.
Once legislation has been passed, and the border is sealed for a year or two, THEN we can discuss the next step... It’s pretty simple really.... Fool me once (1986), shame on you. Fool me twice? Shame on me!
Personally, I think that Mexico’s got the right idea with how they treat illegal aliens, although the raping, beatings, and murders are too much. But they don’t like uninvited guests, do they? And if that’s good enough for Mexico to treat uninvited guests into their country, maybe we should be treating uninvited Mexicans in the same way...

We should demand the same immigration policy as Mexico has. How could Mexico complain? (Silly me, of course they will anyway.)
Agreed. Just copy Mexico’s immigration laws for the U.S. and enforce them - and watch Mexicans yell. Most people don’t know how draconian Mexican laws are about immigration.
