Schumer’s latest scheme

Schumer’s latest scheme | The Daily Caller:
If they can wait 3 years …: If Republicans don’t trust President Obama’s implementation of an immigration law, suggests Sen. Schumer,, why not a compromise that postpones the effective date until after Obama leaves office?
“Let’s enact a law this year, but simply not let it actually start till 2017, after President Obama’s term is over.”
 I assume Schumer’s talking about delaying the amnesty parts of “reform.”**
But if today’s illegal immigrants can wait three years for their instant work permits, why can’t they wait five--until the essential enforcement mechanisms like E-verify, a border fence and a visa tracking system are not only in place but have survived the inevitable ACLU-style assault in the courts? 
Then we wouldn’t have to trust Obama or the next president.
The legalization wouldn’t happen unless and until the enforcement happened."
