I would just say that if you are trying to fix a leaky bucket. you cant compromise to fix the bucket by fixing four holes in the bucket and leaving six more holes in the bucket. Under that compromise. all of the water is still going to leak out. The problem with the immigration bill currently before the Senate. and I have seen this problem repeatedly in the immigration realm. is that when we come up with provisions and concepts that would actually work. ones that would restore lawfulness to the immigration system. we pull back. we compromise too much. In my own mind. it has been like trying to jump across a 10foot cavern. but only jumping 9 feet. You still fall to the bottom.
