You caught your 4 year old taking cookies, and want to punish him because cookies aren't good for him. But your soft-hearted spouse doesn't agree, and says that a four year old is going to take them if they're there. And unfortunately, like Congress, if you and your spouse don't agree, no punishment can work.

Now you're changing the rules/laws all over again. There are already rules/laws in the books. They simply need to be enforced. This isn't like a marriage where the husband and wife have agreed to live with each other and have made a commitment to each other and their children. This is the sovereignty of a country, with laws to control its borders and processes in place to allow immigrants to legally enter.

What has happened is political correctness/greed run awry. Greed & p.c. have twisted the situation around to make it appear as though the illegal aliens are part of the U.S. family, whose feelings and well-being should come first and foremost. Rather than treat the illegal aliens as the criminal invaders they are, with punishments meted out, the rules/laws are being questioned as "fair" because it may be hurtful to the invaders, and those who illegally employ them.

Never had to compromise with your wife? Lucky man.... Of course, at least you get to choose your wife, so the odds on her agreeing with you when it comes to disciplining the kids are pretty good. You and I didn't exactly choose Harry Reid as a legislative dance partner, did we?

That sounds wonderful, but you omitted the part about most Democrats and some Republicans opposing your view. What good does it do for you to have the perfect plan if you can't get it enacted?
