15. It does account for many illegal aliens, but not sure what
proportion. The solution there is to let them "register" like they do in other countries. Extend their stay or change to work visas if they can get a job.

We have created an impossible enforcement situation with the laws we have. Our laws are simply outdated. They worked in 1952, but just patching up the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 does not work in the 21st century.

Most claims of an overhaul are false. They are just patching and repatching and in the meantime making the immigration laws impossible to reconcile and too complex for anyone to really understand.

It's lazy, it's irresponsible, and it is pandering to the nativists.
