#1 I don't have a complete answer but I do know the fist step is to secure the border. Build and defend a fence. Stop the incursion.

#2 What would Christ do about illegal immigrants?

Considering that Christ was residing in the Roman Empire where people traveled freely, what would he indeed think. You think people would like to be part of an Empire again? That could be arranged.

The last material I've reviewed covering the era certainly points that even Judeans wanted the Romans out. Part of the dynamics leading to his being tacked up on the cross, was because of fears of another uprising against the Romans. Can't we just all get along. /sarcasm. You think Jesus would have been happy for the foreigner [re:Rome] and his interference to be gone from his ancestral lands?

#3 Yes, that's one of the main reasons I lost my religion, Jesus was a "Rabble Rouser" much like the present day (And largely unchanged)Islamonuts, only the name has changed in 2000 some years, the whole place is a fester.

#4 "The political elites seem to be indifferent to the disruption of communities resulting from unbounded illegal immigration."

The political elites, yes, and some members of the business community and some economists, who are indifferent to the effects on the general American populace. The planned huge influx of guest workers who are accustomed to earning 1/6 or less of American daily wages will result a new kind of wealth redistribution, this time from the middle and lower-middle classes to the impoverished and illegal.

#5 If businesses want unlimited labor, I want unlimited access to products. End tarriffs, quotas, and other obstructions to my access to 'cheap' goods.

#6 If businesses want unlimited labor, I want unlimited access to products

why not just go steal whatever it is you want. Isn't that the moral of the story here?

Sure, we Americans work hard and give up more than 25% of our income for our own security and welfare - but don't you see, it belongs to the world. By that same train of thought - all products made belong to the world ...ie: you.

Help yourself :-)

#7 Finally, a Catholic priest (my own faith) who gets it. Too many in our hierarchy are for open borders. I'd like to bitchslap Mahoney every time he chastises the US for not allowing open borders. Were he so morally outraged at pedophile priests in his own control, many children would've been spared a life-changing horror
