Which do you Prefer?

Because existing law isn't working.

For example, a person presenting themselves at a legal port of entry and requesting asylum must be admitted until a hearing can be held which in an ideal world would take place within weeks if not days but because there is a massive shortage of immigration judges currently takes months.  

The penalties for employing undocumented workers are minimal compared to the benefits of hiring them.  Stop the jobs and you will stop a lot of the border crossings.  

For a country of our size we admit so few legal immigrants that for people from countries such as Mexico the waitlist for a legal visa is so long that it is virtually impossible to ever get one

Our entire immigration system has needed updating for decades but Congress hasn't wanted to deal with this issue.

CBP needs more people, better facilities, better equipment, and revised laws.  They need state and federal governments to stop using immigration as a political battering ram.  

Now the Senate has come close to addressing some of the problems and Trump sends the word to not even consider it because it would give Biden a victory.  So much for America First
