But, you know, the other problematic part of that deferred action would be, again, it would increase the incentive for illegal immigration. If you really want to secure the border, you need to eliminate those incentives. That's exactly what President Obama did with children...he had the deferred action on childhood admissions, and then we saw children flooding out of Central America to our border.
