#1 People want to emigrate and work in the west...

There's a demand for these types of workers...

The answer is simple. Come up with a rational basis for immigration numbers (say long term vacancies minus unemployed) and AUCTION those places off to foreign bidders.

The money raised should be returned direct to citizens.

#2 That's funny....my sweetie (still waiting for the FBI to finish up his background check so he can finally get his green card) thinks that a fence wouldn't be such a bad idea.

I guess he and the rest of his buddies from the old country, who completed the total pain-in-the-ass legal process and live here now with the appropriate documentation, are anti-immigrant and didn't realize it.

#3 "The Border Patrol testified in Washington that a wall would do nothing to stop the flow."

Contrary to Mr. Lopezs statement the Border Patrol reps unanimously testified that existing fences have a measurable deterrence. They also all agreed that building more fences was a good idea. Their concerns regarding the wall were about logistics. For instance, rugged terrain in some areas makes the concept of building a continuous wall problematic. Also the question of responsibility as to which entity would be responsible for maintenance. (ie. Replacing lights and sensors that are shot out is currently a problem) But the biggest concern had to do with lack of man-power and who would be responsible in the event that the wall is breached.
Its amazing how some people regarding this issue have no problem with telling flat-out lies.

#4 However, this just all treats the symptoms and not the underlying cancer which is the fundamentally base corrupt government of Mexico. Its time to stop being cordial with it. Its time to actively undermine it.

#5 It is clear that Mr Lopez is a racist and doesn't think the Mexican government can possibly provide the jobs and basic needs for thousands of Mexicans as most countries are able to do or that Mexican workers can manage to fill out the paperwork required by immigrants from every other country in the world.

I find racists disgusting and even more so when he appears to be a self-hating racist.
