Better to pass something rather than nothing, right?

Reforming the entire immigration system, when approved, wasn't going to take place at once. They know it as well as we do that different groups of people will meet benchmarks at different times, and programs and rules will take effect gradually, so their argument against passing DA now is moot.

So I guess it's a matter of timing (lameduck or whenever?)? I think CIR is going t0 pass, but not mass amnesty component, unless they make the standards higher. The undocumented general population is way too high.

That's the only way something will get done. There has to be enforcement here. The problem can only be solved though enforcement-only reform, which is economically the wrong solution, or through CIR+tough and I mean real tough enforcement, which should include militarizing the border. That's the only way that will ensure that this problem doesn't happen again and that is ultimately what the next step should be. I hate to say and admit this, but it's the truth and the only way that this problem can be solved.
