We don't want it to seem like we're getting away with something because it could mean harsher provisions for even our bill let alone the border security part.

Trust me, I empathize with you on everything you've touched on. In no way am I saying this is a terrible bill, it's a good start. We shouldn't sell ourselves short so early is all. Let's see how this plays out in this weeks news cycle and possibly some committee hearings.
