It is a deterrent for people coming here.
You seem to think that we have a goal that people will come here. Quite the opposite. We allow people to come here.

Seal the borders then immigration reform. Make it easier for the well educated to come here.
The worker who come her from Mexico are very good workers and very good at their trades.
Basically they are the new slave class in the US.
One easy fix is to close the anchor baby loophole. The Parents get a free ride on the Welfare system once their precious citizen is born.

The people you call "anchor babies" are US citizens. No loophole. You want to change it, start working on a Constitutional Amendment.
I dunno, but the business community sure doesn't like them:

Based on this article alone, I would not know if the COC is pro or anti Immigration Reform.

What is wrong with the US immigration system/law?
What is wrong with the US immigration system/law?
The USA allows more legal immigration into the United States than all over countries on earth combined
The change is one of President Barack Obama's first actions on immigration since he pledged during his State of the Union address last month to use more executive directives. The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department now say that people considered to have provided "limited material support" to terrorists or terrorist groups are no longer automatically barred from the United States.
A post-Sept. 11 provision in immigrant law, known as terrorism related inadmissibility grounds, had affected anyone considered to have given support. With little exception, the provision has been applied rigidly to those trying to enter the U.S. and those already here but wanting to change their immigration status. For Morteza Assadi, a 49-year-old real estate agent in northern Virginia, the law has left him in a sort of immigration purgatory while his green card application has been on hold for more than a decade.
As a teenager in Tehran, Iran, in the early 1980s, Assadi distributed fliers for a mujahedeen group that opposed the government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and was at one time considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. Assadi said he told the U.S. government about his activities when he and his wife applied for asylum in the late 1990s. Those requests were later granted and his wife has since become a U.S. citizen. But Assadi's case has remained stalled. "When we are teenagers, we have different mindsets," Assadi said. "I thought, I'm doing my country a favor."
Assadi said he only briefly associated with the group, which was removed from Washington's list of terrorist organizations in 2012, and that he was never an active member or contributor to its activities. Now he's hopeful that the U.S. government will look at his teenage activities as "limited." His lawyer, Parastoo Zahedi, said she has filed case in federal court to force U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to process Assadi's green card application, but now hopes the government will act on its own. "In the past, the minute your name was associated with a (terrorist) organization you were being punished," Zahedi said. "Not every act is a terrorist act and you can't just lump everyone together."

Johnson’s comment came after he gave his prepared address and was in response to Jane Harman, president and CEO of the Woodrow Wilson Center, asking him about the fate of immigration reform in this session of Congress. “In today’s press there is a new comment from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) that it may not happen this year I think,” Harman said, “which is going to be a great disappointment to many communities across our country who were hoping it will and to our efforts to rebuild our economy after the most serious recession since the Great Depression.
“What can you do to persuade John Boehner that maybe he should – of steps he might take in this election year to get this thing back on the right track?” Harman asked. “Because he was one of the people who said he wanted to try to make this happen.” “What I hope will happen in 2014 is that there is an emerging, evolving realization that this should not be politics, that this is a problem that we have in this country that needs to be fixed,” Johnson said. “And that those of us here in Washington who represent the American public ought to do what we need to do to fix the problem.”
Johnson said part of that problem is enforcing immigration law. “Everybody agrees we have a problem with immigration, with enforcement and administration of our immigration laws,” Johnson said. “Everybody knows we have millions of undocumented immigrants in this country, and they're not going away. “They're not going to self-deport,” Johnson said, adding that some 86 percent of illegal aliens “have been in the country for years.”
“So they're here, and they're not going away,” Johnson said. “From my Homeland Security perspective, I would rather encourage them to come forward, be accountable, pay whatever taxes and fines they owe.” Johnson previously worked for the Obama administration as a lawyer in the Department of Defense before being nominated and confirmed as DHS secretary.
