Sorry, but trying to find a middle ground in this fiasco is not going to assuage feelings. We’ve been lied to over and again. I think that many people agree with me here that the democrats have no intention of ever doing anything substantive to stop illegals entering. Every time it is the same thing...”this is the very last time we’ll do amnesty...blah, blah, blah...” LIE, LIE, LIE! Every time! I’m ready to depart every single democrat and any republicans who sign any amnesty bill. Let them go live somewhere else if they hate America so much!

If 10s of thousands can cross the border every single day, then the border is NOT secure. THAT has to stop. This is nonsense that everybody says that the border is the best its ever been. Parts, maybe, but that doesn’t mean it is secure.

...people, on net, are an asset, and a nation needs a growing population...

Certainly per capita economic growth is a good thing. Is population growth really that important other than for social welfare ponzi schemes? Are Liberia, Burundi, Afghanistan, Western Sahara, East TImor, Niger, Eritrea… the places to be?

the border will never be 100% secure

So what? That could be used as an argument against any law and any security measure.
I rather have ICE deal with a few tens of illegals than several thousands.

Regarding #2 - anything other than deportation is amnesty.
Regarding #3 - Illegal is the appropriate label.

The ability to live here is very precious. Legal and illegal immigrants know this. Americans do not and are stupidly allowing our  American citizenship to be  diluted and devalued  by illegal alien hordes plus many of the legal imigranrs are a burden and are useless. All depends what shytehole they come from via family reunification
