what we have in place in this country is de facto amnesty

That is because the FED will not enforce EXISTING laws.

So, what makes us think the FED will enforce border security under a new law -- especially when that new law does not mandate enforcement, but rather gives Homeland Security the option to enforce. If, after 5 years, Homeland Security hasn't secured the border, a new commission is formed.

Oh yeah, like that is going to work. And what about the millions more who will cross the border during that 5 years?

Nothing stops HS from saying the boarder is secured. I think they have already announced that it is in fact secured.
