If we opened our borders completely to illegals, and they were unable to find jobs, they would leave.
If we continue to spend billions to try to keep them out, but continue to offer jobs, they will come.
Follow the money; that usually works.
Enforce the “other” immigration laws, and punish those who hire them. Do this, and the problem will abate, and we will spend far fewer enforcement dollars. But our food will probably get more expensive.
Oh, wait, there I go again, using logic….when will I ever learn?
If you want illegal immigration to stop, the issues in their home countries need to be addressed. They come to the US hoping for better than they had at home. How bad does it have to be before bending over all day in strawberry fields sounds like a better place to be? Help them fix the problems in their home countries, and they will stay there.
“Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
But I guess the Statue of Liberty must be some kind of liberal thug…
The fact that the border is delineated in white dashes should warn those south of it that they had better BE white when the cross it gong north or else back they will go! 8^)
