The border should be open, and real immigration reform starts with pressing mexico to give American citiziens or Anglos the right to go to Mexico, and we need to speed up intergration of Mexico into North America economy because Mexico overtime becomes a modern developed ecomony. The others will follow suit, and it would reduce the appeal of the populists in Western Hemisphere. If we had a reciprocal guest worker program with Mexico we could add one to two percent extra growth a year to Mexican ecomony. Therfore, over 30 years the income gap would be reduced assuming a basline of 3% growth a year, and added one to two precent on top of 3% would bring Mexico income level half that of Untied States, and dulled the incentive to try to make it north. In all, Mexico needs skilled workers, and more Legal and adminstrative reform, and putting a fence up is pretty useless because some coyotes and people will hide them into cargo trailers to get them to the Untied States, and they will buy building over the fence and dig a tunnel between the US and Mexico. Illegal immigration is wrong, but Mexicans are gonna come over no matter what type of fine people put on employers for hiring them. Most illegals work for mom and pop construction company, or restuarant with cash in hand.
Er, your Freudian Slip is showing.
