If so, I would like to know from how this legislation was ever aborted to support the current influx of immigrants without papers.
Tweaking in my mind would simply be to obey it and provide protection for people in need of protection from smuggling traffickers...the purpose for which it was written!

Thats the law I refer to.
Problem is that just about 100% of those crossing (and this does not apply to Mexicans..only certain central Americans).....anyway almost anyone from those countries can qualify...all they need to do is proclaim they are a victim and the process which takes time..begins.
I am not a lawyer, but this law is what has been abused ever since the amnesty was given. It was/is considered the loophole to get them in this country. They are then dispersed with an attempt to match with family and given a hearing date. I do not know how to "tweak" it.....under the circumstances maybe just repeal it.
So you have these poor central Americans who saw the amnesty as a signal (nobody has yet to tell them otherwise) and use this as a loophole to get in and begin the process because we are not enforcing the laws to deport properly.
