Mr. President: Close the Border!

"First things first"

Close the borders and get control of who comes and goes. Or, as Peggy Noonan says here,

If they'd really wanted to help, as opposed to braying about their own wonderfulness, they would have created not one big bill but a series of smaller bills, each of which would do one big clear thing, the first being to close the border. Once that was done--actually and believably done--the country could relax in the knowledge that the situation was finally not day by day getting worse. They could feel some confidence. And in that confidence real progress could begin.

Get control of the borders. Then we can talk about what to do with the 12 -20 million illegals in our midst.
