I actually did not admit that? Sometimes, it's good to get sources so you know what is being discussed vs opinions. Hence, I asked for sources. Thank you for providing yours.
You are right that I cannot recall every Immigration Reform proposal (not an Immigration attorney) but, as an immigrant myself, I am very interested in reform and pay attention to them when they come up (or not). Therefore, I will say that I have more knowledge than the common person, have strong opinions (with what I believe are good rationale), but definitely not an expert.

You want it to be one way, but really it's the other way.

See above rebuttal
For the remaining quotes/sources you provided, I assume this is in support of JPhillips contention below. I will gear my answers to that, tell me if I got your intent wrong.

Dem would vote, tomorrow, for a narrow bill that funded the immigration system to an extent that they could process claims quickly and clear up some of the backlog at the border, but the GOP won't do that. There is room for compromise, but only on the Dem side. The GOP has kneecapped every immigration bill for twenty yers even though most of them have d majority support.

I don't believe the 2 of us have butted heads to the point of below. But if you feel don't want to accommodate, I'd asked you to just tell me now and save us time. Otherwise, I'll do my research and post my responses over the next day or two.

So my proposal is -- can we have a discussion that does not involve personal insults, answering questions with sarcasm etc. but an exchange of ideas, asking questions and also answering them? Let me know and I'll be glad to share my ideas and ask you for yours.
