So says Charles Krauthammer.
His articulate piece says what I was trying to here when I wrote:
[B]efore adjusting the status of any illegal immigrant, Congress should establish a system that succeeds in staunching the flow of illegals. Hard proof that the United States is in control of its own borders -- and is committed to enforcing existing law -- would reassure the Americans who suspect, not without reason, that bringing illegal immigrants "out of the shadows" will only promote more illegal immigration, resulting, inevitably, in new calls for legalization.
What's the problem with establishing a system that predicates legalization on the attainment of defined percentage reductions in the numbers of illegals entering the country?
