Or is this an issue of willingness or lack thereof on the part of America's federal governmental beauracracy to comprehensively implement the current immigration laws of the land?

Again one only has to look to the corporations and financial institutions on this matter. Cut all political contributions to candidates from special interests( this pretty well includes just about every corporation and financial institution as well).

Oh they are enforcable all right...... it's just that most politicians won't as they will look like the bad guy. And corporations won't as they are making money so why upset the boat?
It's easily enforcable. In america when you are hired you have to fill out an I-9 form and show ID but this sheet just goes in a file. In many countries say in Europe they take it further.
After the employer gets the information they have to call it in and get a temporary work number. Then after you get your first paycheck you have to go and show this and show your information again to an office.... kind of like a social security office here. So their computers pick up if multiple people are using the same documents and if they are truly legal. It works because all of the computers are tied in.
This requires a secure ID system as well. America can't have the stuff to verify information? Plus in many countries the penalty is so severe for hiring an illegal it usually means that the company will lose its business, regardless of the size.
And lastly billions of dollars are sent to Latin America by illegals. You see the lines of people sending money home via western union on Fridays. And it is always like 300 dollars and such. If western union was required to ask for a secure ID before doing business this would upset the applecart as well.
Point is before I rambled..... how many people do you know that say they support illegals? People should be doing more to voice their opinions. How to go about that easily I don't know.

The heads of DHS and even the President and Congress do not want the field agents enforcing immigration laws.
While they claim work site enforcement is a high priority they have restricted it so much that the local agents can not do it.
The meat packing plant raids (according to the news reports) took almost a year to do (because of the DHS beauracracy).
Immigration judges order people deported, but there are no bailiffs (even Judge Judy has a bailiff) to take the criminal into custody so he/she just walks out of the court room. It is a joke!
It is a do able thing (deporting ALL the illegals) with the current laws. But the truth is the big corporations want the illegals here and that is what is going to happen.

Immigration laws are absolutely enforceable. The fact that they are not being enforced is due to a lack of will. If the federal government was serious about enforcing immigration laws, why would they allow Elvira Arellano to hole up in a church for months so she can continue her subversive activities? Why wouldn't the government arrest the heads of that church for pandering, harboring fugitives from justice and why isn't the government taking away the church's tax exemption? Why would the federal government allow cities to declare themselves sanctuaries for illegal immigrants without taking away all the federal funding from these law-breaking cities? These cities have effectively declared themselves immune to federal law and have placed themselves on a kind of Reservation that should place them under the same restrictions as the Indians (who, by the way have been treated abominally by our Government).
If the government can make all kinds of lists and enforce laws against millions of american citizens, and if the government can track american citizens and collect taxes from millions of american citizens, then it stands to reason that the government is capable of enforcing the immigration laws. It is simply refusing to enforce them and is, therefore, commiting treason against the law-abiding citizens of the USA. Don't forget, our lawmakers passed these laws. If they didn't intend for those laws to be enforced, then why should be even begin to believe that any laws the government passes should be enforceable?
It's time for GRASS ROOTS to get off our duffs and refuse to pay our Government employees who are not doing their jobs -- including and especially our Legislators and our President!

Unenforceable? Not a chance! They are only unenforceable if you do nothing!
The authorities know where many of the communities are - they just don't go in and deport the illegals. They know who the employers are (that hire the illegals) but they look away. If they dried up the job market, things would be very different.
THEY ARE CRIMINALS FOR BEING HERE AND MUST LEAVE!!!

The funny thing is we have the laws we need to enforce immigration laws and secure the border. But all the big business ppl don't like that because they7 like the cheap labor.

MH/Citizen summed it up well.
The government is deliberately NOT enforcing the laws and in fact are prosecuting people that do. DHS lied, Johnny Sutton lied, thje jury was coerced into voting guilty and the judge refused to declare a mistrial all so we could put Ramos and compean in jail. Does that sound like a government intent on enforcing the law?
When you examine the policies of other branches of the government they clearly aid and abet illegal aliens.
We grant birthright citizenship to the offspring of illegals in spite of the fact that it was CLEARLY the intent of the authors of the 14th ammendment to DENY it. The Supreme Court has NOT made a determination in that regard but our government does it anyway. Does that sound like a government intent on enforcing the law?
We allow illegals to overcrowd our schools, grant them free breakfast and lunch, provide them with ESL teachers, all at the expense of our own children. Does that sound like a government intent on enforcing the law?
We allow illegal aliens to apply for foodstamps and PROMISE them their immigration status will not be questioned. We cooperated with the Mexican Consulate to advertise this program on spanish speaking radio and television. Does that sound like a government intent on enforcing the law?
The Governments complicity in aiding and abetting illegal aliens is endless. Here is a good link with tons of articles

You hit it right on the head. The laws, such as there are, were enacted to placate the citizens that are against immigration, however, they will NEVER be enforced because the powers that be are paid under the table to look the other way.

NO, it grew to become into the dimwits that have allowed the minority to abuse the device. We further it upon ourselves by making use of looking any incorrect way while it grew to become into taking place. Now that the climate is tempered we cry and whine. the U. S. Citizen grew to become into forewarned 2 many years in the past after the Amnesty of the eighty's. no person took action and the evidence is obvious in the present day of the Politikos in workplace that's a hallmark that the citizen remains complacent.. us of a is a rustic. Then we've North u.s. (Canada, US, Mexico), crucial u.s. (Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama) and South u.s. (each thing else south of Panama) u.s. aka The Western Hemisphere as known by making use of the UN, WTO and each thing in between.....

Part of Immigration laws are the Attorneys that want to keep them here because it earns them a living. Yet if we pass laws that say if your here illegal, you have no U.S. citizen rights, rights to an attorney, right to a trial, etc. then the we just arrest you and get rid of you, the attorney and courts are out of the picture.
By our country paying for attorneys for illegals is another way we pay taxes to support illegals, by housing illegals while they wait hearings is more of our tax dollars, transporting them to their own country is more of our tax dollars, and making sure illegals are healthy and fed is more of our tax dollars.
So I am tired of paying taxes for illegals, Are you?
