It would seem that not only is America (American government) unable and unwilling to stop illegal criminal border crossing, the American government is abetting the criminal border crossers by arresting and jailing anyone that attempts to enforce the law.
Now, there is a solution that will appeal to all Americans and is applicable to all the illegal mexicans. Just in case any wimpy little lurkers are scared to go look at this solution, it does not involve arms.
I ran it by a legal bud of mine and he just smiled. First comment was "Yep, the crime of conspiracy is committed as soon as the illegal sets foot on u.S. territory. Therefor, anyone questioning a suspect illegal border crosser that receves an answer of "looking for work" as the illegal's reason for crossing the border and currently being in u.S. territory is no longer facing a simple tresspasser. The illegal has at that point confessed to conspiracy to violate federal money laundering laws. And if there is "reasonable suspicion" that the illegal border crosser is breaking major federal laws and is no longer a simple tresspasser, that American citizen (in most states) can legally detain the criminal border crosser.
