"I think the solution is to give amnesty to those who are already here and tighten the immigration policies at the same time."
That's exactly what the argument was in 1986. They allowed illegal aliens to become citizens and get green cards, and their reward for that was a flood of illegal aliens greater than anyone up to that time ever dreamed of.
The answer, of course, and we'll hear it from Tom Tancredo tonight, is to simply enforce the immigration laws as they stand. Put people who hire illegals in jail, keep illegals from accessing public programs meant for US citizens, and they will discover that it's cheaper to live back where they came from.
