I suspect many more immigrants will be coming. Technically the "handover" is illegal and thus the need for an "amnesty".
The idea that millions of unskilled/uneducated laborers are going to be able to replace Joe Americana successfully is a pipe dream. We are simply relocating the slums of Mexico to various locales here in the US.
Perhaps we should be encouraging educated eastern europeans or asians to "immigrate" instead. Our trade policies however do not favor immigration from better educated populations because we are enriching their homelands enough to warrent staying put.
No offense to the good (former) citizens of Mexico, who immigrated legally, but the literacy rate is much better in other parts of the world. America needs educated "huddled masses" not Pedro's looking for a handout.

"America needs educated "huddled masses" not Pedro's looking for a handout." When you come up with a workable solution, you have my vote for president.
