That's exactly what I think should be done. As I mentioned in an earlier discussion on the topic, I think the current immigration problem is, if there is an analogy, very analogous to the squatting problem we experienced in the early 19th century. The law bent then, the gnp went through the roof overnight, because the problem was so widespread and had taken such seed that to enforce the law as-was would have been completely unrealistic. That's my analogue. Yours is one from a perspective I can't have, but your frustration is certainly merited. I think that also makes you biased.
