Thank you, if you had any reading comprehension skills you wouldn't have reposted to my post.
IF 5M were coming AND un-apprehended and returned, year after year, your trailer park WOULD be more crowded.
Your obsession with this issue overlooks that a comprehensive immigration reform Bill was passed by the Senate in'13, with GOP votes, and The GOP House refused to even debate it much less vote on it.
Read it, as best you can with your pathetically inadequate reading comprehension skills, and don't cherry pick. It's a Biil, it's a compromise, that's the best we could do then no less than now.
Tell me what exactly you don't like about any of it, realizing that allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good is pointless in a democracy.
And here's what is good for both of us and the board, don't post to me on any subject. Otherwise, I won't run out of lay up ball busters of your lame shit any more than you'll pick up enough IQ points to make Forest Gump break a sweat.

Overview
The legislation would have made deep and broad changes to existing U.S. immigration law. Bill S.744 would have created a program to allow an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States gain legal status in conjunction with efforts to secure the border.[8] The bill would have provided a pathway to U.S. citizenship for illegal immigrants who had resided in the U.S. before December 31, 2011.
Illegal immigrants would have been required to apply for a newly created Registered Provisional Immigrant status. To do so, immigrants would have had to pay a fine, fees, and any back taxes owed; pass a background check; and not have a disqualifying criminal record.
The bill also included the DREAM Act and the AgJOBS Act. Immigrants who received Registered Provisional Immigrant status would have been able to apply for legal permanent resident status (in other words, a green card) as long as strict border security provisions were met (including increasing the number of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents and officers, constructing a double layer fence along certain parts of the Mexico–United States border, and meeting a target of stopping 90% of illegal border crossings.
The bill would also have drastically altered the methods of visa allocation under current family-based and employment-based categories, and would have introduced a "merit-based" visa based on points accrued for educational achievements, employment history, and other contributions to society.[1]
The bill contained many other provisions, including:
Removal of per country green card quota limits, which would help in reducing backlogs. The wait time is in decades for some countries, and many high-skilled immigrants (including U.S.-educated immigrants) tend to return to their home countries due to the lack of a timely process.
Creation of a new INVEST visa which would make it easier for prospective foreign entrepreneurs to stay in the U.S. and start companies. Data suggested that companies owned by immigrants were likely to hire more employees than companies owned by U.S. natives.[9]
Allotment of up to 25,000 more visas/green cards to foreign students who have earned advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM).[10] Research has shown that, on average, every 100 foreign students who remain in the United States after receiving a degree in science, technology, engineering or math create 262 additional jobs in the United States.[11]
Creation of a W visa to allow low-skilled temporary workers.
Provision for expanded use of E-Verify by businesses in order to ensure that their workers have the legal right to work in the United States.
Replacement of the H-2A visa program for agricultural workers with a new “blue card” for immigrants.[12]
Increasing the number of H1B visas and imposing restrictions on the companies who misuse the program.[10]
Allowing immigrants illegally brought to the U.S. as children to apply for registered provisional status, and adjusting that status to legal permanent residency after five years.[12]
Transferring the quota of green cards now assigned to the Diversity Visa Lottery program to immigrants with advanced skills. Under the current diversity visa lottery rules, lottery winners who have high school diplomas or " wo years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years' training or experience"[13] are eligible for consideration.
Creating a program to provide jobs to low-income and minimally-skilled American youth.
