Quote:The idea that illegal immigration will be stopped by better border control is a myth.
Oh I don't know,I think some more aggressive policing might do the trick
EG Mine the border.Set up automatic machine gun nests at strategic points.( activated by movement and/or infra red) helicopter gunship patrols.-- and of course shoot any illegals who are actually caught. I think that combination would be to drastically reduce illegal immigration from Mexico and further South.
As an outsider: The US does not have an illegal immigration problem. It DOES have over 20 million illegals. Miiliions are mercilessly exploited by Americans.The majority actually pay taxes, yet are not entitled to the same benefits of other tax payers. Without low paid and exploited illegals, some US industries would collapse.
The problem is not being properly addressed because there are too many vested interests on BOTH sides of the border making vast sums of money.
Were I an ordinary Merkin, I would be livid.
