Sealing the border is only a first step. That will not stop all of the illegals though. It'll slow them down, but some will still get in. Many of the illegals were initially in the country on valid visitor's visas or student visas ...etc), and decided not to go back to their country of origin once their visas had expired.You just provided an example as to why we should move slowly in regards to any immigration reform. You worked hard in order to legally immigrate, and were rewarded with citizenship. Would it be fair to you if we allow millions of folks who broke the law a free pass, and let them sneak ahead everyone else who have been waiting for years.
Our immigration laws are fine the way they are, the problem is trying to figure out a way to enforce the laws, at the same time being compassionate and figure out what to do with the millions that are here illegally.
That's why no one is moving forward with any reform, there really is no solution.
That's right. The problem is not at the border. The problem is in the US quota system.
Bull...Seal the board, then reform the immigration system
Once the border is sealed, there needs to be a tracking system, so that every non-citizen in the country can be accounted for. The DHS needs to make sure that those whose visas will expire will leave and not overstay their visit.
With a sealed border, and a tracking system, then a plan can be devised as to what to do with the illegals that are already in the country.
