White stated the following in his book. America in Search of Itself: "The United States has lost one of the cardinal attributes of sovereigntyit no longer controls its own borders. Its immigration laws are flouted by aliens and citizens alike. as no system of laws has been flouted since Prohibition." These words were true nearly a quarter of century ago. and they are true today. Some may ask what Congress has done to address the issue during this time well. I will tell you. In 1986. Congress passed. among other things. the Immigration Reform and Control Act. or IRCA. and we passed stringent enforcement measures in the 1990s. I submit that neither the IRCA amnesty policy nor the previous enforcement measures have worked. Moreover.
