The Gang of Eight's huge border security loophole

In other words, if the Chamber of Commerce sues to block creation of the E-Verify program, and they either win, or that suit is still pending after ten years, then the DHS Secretary is empowered to grant permanent legal residence to all legalized immigrants regardless of the actual security situation on the border.

Or maybe environmentalists will sue to block construction of the border fence. Or maybe the ACLU will sue to block the visa-exit system. There are a thousand ways liberal groups could sue the federal government to slow border enforcement. And is long as just one of these suits are still pending ten years after the bill has become law, the DHS Secretary is empowered to grant permanent legal status to everyone who benefited from the law.
