Yet there has been no change in the "authorized" number of immigrants in decades!

My opinion ... we do need to enforce the laws ... and we desperately need to change the law so that immigration to the states is easy, quick and more in line with this:

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

America has been billed as the "land of opportunity" outside its borders for many decades now ... it is shameful that opportunity is limited to a few hundred thousand, of those that yearn to breathe free, a year.
