Don't we already have laws that tell people they can't be here without first going through the proper channels? And isn't it already on the books that if someone is here illegally, they have to leave? Most of the new bills that are being discussed talks about how the illegals are going to have to jump through a few hoops and go to the back of the legal immigration line? I haven't seen anything in these new bills indicating why all of the sudden, the illegals will decide to allow themselves to be sent home to go through the regular immigration process. If they're not compelled to do that now, why would they be compelled to do it under any new laws?

The administration likes to say that it's not amnesty because they're going to have to go home and come in legally. Well that's obviously worked really well up until now, hasn't it?

Like all of the other laws on the book they simply need to be enforced.
The legislative branch keeps pouring in new laws to give the appearance that
they are doing something about the problem, when in fact, they are not.
