Read my entire thread and you will see my resolution to this issue. We can stop the Horde by backing up Border Patrol with the National Guard. Will it prevent ALL Illegal immigration? No. But it will severly hamper it.

"The ball is in play and the arguing about what is possible has begun. The problem will not be solved, it will be managed."

Will it? how? How can you set up a program that is failed from the start and state it is managed? Our borders are not even managed. I think you are a bit naieve.

There is another side to the issue...... Mexican land.

If there are to be Mexicans allowed into the USA, Americans should be allowed into Mexico. There are areas south of Arizona and Texas that should be opened with free access to American real estate developers. The access to land at Mexican prices with Mexican labor available should be a real boon to baby boomer retirement developments. Half price retirement community in a warm climate might appeal to a lot of Americans.

The creep of Hispanic culture north will be matched by the pressure of American economic expertise south.

The forces can not be stopped by erecting a fence, even a fence with troops.
