I don't really have a problem with amnesty. With 12 million already here I don't see a truly practical alternative.
But before an amnesty can be implemented we need to have effectively closed the door behind them. Otherwise in 10 years we'll just be arguing about whether to grant amnesty to the 12 million new people who have shown up illegally.
So I'd support an enforcement first approach.
Of course, that is within the existing framework of severely limited caps on immigration. Which I don't support.
