| #1 The question is boxed into a dated paradigm. The border *cannot* be "secure" without an iron curtain that stretches its length, with three divisions to permanently police it. And to achieve what end? NOTHING OF VALUE. The "reform of immigration law" amounting to giving citizenship to illegals is the other half of the failed paradigm. Bush's idea of easy-to-obtain work visas is very reasonable, but is adamantly opposed by those stuck in the old paradigm: many of whom don't want "legal" workers who can unionize and demand better pay and working conditions, but who want vast numbers of "illegal" workers to exploit. And if we're talking about non-Mexican illegals, such as Arabs, the simple solution of paying Mexicans a bounty for information leading the capture of such illegals is a simple and inexpensive solution. |
