Perhaps I'm missing something in here, but I've yet to hear even the most conservative who doesn't believe that any solution starts at one place: Closing the border to illegals.

Closing the border only solves part of the problem. 40% of the illegals came here legally and overstayed their visas. We need a system to track and deport visa overstays. We also need to cut off the job magnet with mandatory e-verify.

We also need to reduce legal immigration significantly from the current 1.1 million a year and guest worker programs that bring in 640,000 a year. We have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. Immigrants are taking American jobs and depressing wages. We have a huge surplus of labor. Only Santorum is talking about reducing legal immigration.

Now what you say is correct, but I want to point out something. The guy in the article makes the same statement-- I suspect primarily just to ridicule Trump and to discredit the wall.

But where is 90 percent of the drugs coming from? Anything not coming in across the water is passing through those borders--- another reason to build the wall and man it with the national guard, like how O'Reilly used to ask for.
