The border issue is the only one that matters for 2016. Even if the right President gets elected, and the right Congress too, it will take a while to get a good bill passed - then years to get the border fully secured.
Whatever deportation fantasies people might want to engage, that’s probably a minimum of two elections away. For today, the top 3 immigration priorities are the border, the border and the border.
Nothing else matters.
I agree that real proven border security must come first. Anything else is de facto amnesty because deported illegals simply return again.
At the same time we can get rid of Obama’s executive memos, actions, and orders while working on taking the lures away.
