To prevent the border crossers from Texas and New Mexico alone would require a standing Army of 3 Million

No, all that is need is the Government to stop welfare and enforce our current laws.

No fences, no Army, none of that. Take away the welfare and the free jobs and enact a viable guest worker program and illegal immigration will drop to a very manageable situation.

For once we'll have to disagree. The drug cartels in Mexico are going into the remote valleys and mountainous regions and forcing the Mexican Indian populace to grow marijuana and poppies.
That leaves the them option of going into Mexican cities and beg, or head north. The failure of the Mexican gubermint to protect these people might even make them eligible for refugee status.

Thanks ... That's pretty much what I was trying to say.

"Take away the welfare and the free jobs and enact a viable guest worker program and illegal immigration will drop to a very manageable situation."

So, you and I are in complete agreement on the solution.

That's not true. Illegals have an understanding with lib-democrats as examplified by all the CA Dems, who when 187 was passed, shopped a judge to rescind Prop 187. Then there was Prop 209. Dems, Lockyer fer sure, was quoted in open news saying he wasn't going to obey prop 209 -- EVEN THO 209 WAS IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION. Just dropping welfare and such is NOT going to do exactly what you propose. There's gotta be a wall, first. Things have gone on too long for just "stopping welfare" and that will cure the problem....
