If writers were to be displaced by others making $5.15 and hour this clown Jacoby and her liberal friends would be the first calling for mass deportations. But since Jacoby and not a few other "conservatives" can get some cheap moral indignation at their fellow citizens and make money doing so we are stuck with this nonsense of social engineering of mass immigration.
I might as well say it: Border control? Simple - just build a wall like the one Israel is building (not the fence portion, the WALL) and then require that anyone crossing the border do so at checkpoints. Failure to use the checkpoints earns you a case of lead poisoning.
There, border controlled.

Where does anyone get the idea that illegals work for minimum wage?
The do nothing grunts on curbside won't work for anything less than $8/hr and those working in construction get $20+/hr.
They are hired because they are illegal and those that employ them aren't paying any taxes on them and are paying them in cash.
