What better mechanism to increase border security than focus agents on that rather then deporting people here working any paying taxes. I believe undocumented workers account for some $12B every year.
As for it being fair to those playing by the rules, I think you have to draw the line somewhere. Deporting everybody isn't practical. Optimizing your resources is critical. By kicking the can down the road you can better address some short-term needs without really giving anything up.
