If you are told that your spouse or minor child cannot be here for the next six or seven years because of the backlog, that's an incentive for them to get here illegally.

What's the point? Deport them.

It smells of political pandering. We have no problem with strong border protections, but anyone who thinks you can have immigration reform starting with just border protections has their head in the sand.

I would call on him to be honest and say that's what's happening.
