Reagan's amnest policy was realistic and expedient.

The Amnesty Policy of Ronald Reagan regarding the Undocumented did not fail. What failed were the border problems AND employers that hired and paid the Undocumented. That needs to be clear.

The USA has limited resources unless the people want a 50% income tax. Those resources have to be applied across all aspects of governance. When the Undocumented under Reagan were provided amnesty, it relieved the resources being taped to enforce deportations. 

There is a profound problem with the USA immigration policy as it stands today. It is necessary to tackle all the problems including any border issues. The USA borders will never be 100% patrolled and maintained in it's integrity. It is not realistic and still have a country based in freedom. The burden to any docks of the USA if such a paradigm existed would shut down a significant piece of the USA economy, not to mention the global economy.

The immigration system of the USA is causing it's own problems. There are not enough court rooms to process all the legal documents currently in the system. While the immigrants wait for their hearings they loss their status as LEGALLY within the country and therefore become Undocumented.  

The more than 11 million Undocumented INCLUDES those that legally entered the USA and entered the immigration process. It's gotten to be ridiculous. The entire immigration system of the USA is over burdened with it's current infrastructure. The entire system is hideous. This is the USA and we don't even have control of the legal system that processes legal immigrants.

I think the question among the immigrants in the USA is, "When we enter the status of Undocumented do we go to the end of the line or keep the one we have now?" Maybe the Republicans can answer that question first. 

When realizing how completely perverted the immigration system has become since Reagan it is increasingly obvious the political right wing of the USA simply hate immigrants, legal or otherwise.

Wall Street and Small Businesses have a lot on the line with this mess. They need to act and demand movement on Immigration Reform. A simple letter stating free standing immigration reform needs to be addressed now for the sake of the employees bringing viability to their company.

Rick Snyder wants to bring million/billionaires to Michigan in some kind of obscure economic reform, but, it doesn't matter. It is all lip service because the immigration process is stalled. How is a person considering the possibility of investing in the Michigan economy as an immigrant going to actually receive that goal? They won't. The 'offer' by Snyder is mute. It is an empty promise. The immigration system is broken. Congress needs to be reminded a free standing immigration reform is absolutely necessary.
