I hear what you are saying, however, that ain’t what was or likely will be proposed next time is my hunch, and there will be a next time.
That’s been the problem, the initial proposals and explanations have always been a little more palatable than what actually made it into the legislation.
It’s why people like me who were in the center on the issue ended up being staunch supporters of the anti-illegal movement. The Senate bill was crap.
