Amnesty is a big billboard, a flashing billboard, to the rest of the world that we don't really mean our immigration law.

Next, we will create a modern immigration law.

As long as we build walls around our cities, we make desperate people who want to come in more resolute to bring them down.

Refugee policy is only one part of immigration law needing a drastic overhaul.

[...] we argue against the false equivalency of viewing anti-immigrant and pro-integration laws in the same light: the former often play on misperception and group stereotypes and explicitly call out particular groups for differential treatment. By contrast, many of the integrationist measures passed by state legislatures have couched their policies in universalistic terms, and often do not make reference to particular classes of persons.

Border enforcement coupled with employer sanctions and threatening employers who hire immigration law violators is insufficient.
