Congress needs to get its shit together and fix the immigration laws.
Our immigration laws are ok. Problem is they are not enforced, esp section 1324 title 8 which makes it a federal felony to do anything that encourages illegals to live here. That means they get no welfare or free k-12 and they can't get jobs or even rent an apt. Enforce that law and they will leave.
