Can, if we had a functioning Congress that actually passed material laws. We’ve been trying to pass immigration reform for the last couple of decades.

Changing laws is irrelevant if the executive chooses to ignore them.

It would be better to actually enforce the immigration laws we have right now, and see where we land. Then make changes from there.

And we would have had bipartisan steps toward it before the last presidential election, if Trump hadn't told Republicans to tank it at the last minute because it hurt his biggest talking point for reelection.
