I just realized that the Obama administration is basically doing what the antis want (attrition through enforcement)
Quote:
Cecilia Muñoz, the White House official who oversees immigration policy, said Mr. Obama strongly favored Secure Communities because he does not have the option of saying, “While I’m waiting for Congress to come forward, I am not going to bother to enforce the law.”
The program is “the best tool we have,” she said, “to enforce the law in the best possible way.”

Why would republicans in congress bother coming to the table when the administration is carrying out their enforcement only strategy for them?
