If executive action makes it easier and more comfortable for illegals to stay here, it would logically make it attractive for more to come. It might well even give illegals an attitude of entitlement, of a right to be here. That would, of course, include the illegal criminals who might be induced to think they have as much right to be here as our legal criminals. As well, it would give the presidential imprimatur of legalizing illegality. But no matter, legal illegality is good for the economy. And it would be a windfall for the big crony capitalist insurance companies, or at least the super-sized ones, to have Obamacare subsidies kick in to pay for the legal illegals healthcare.

If the House de-funds the DHS as threatened how effective do you think our border enforcement will be?
Probably as effective as it is now. In fact, if the federal government would let the states patrol their own borders, the enforcement might be even more effective.
