I guess it helps if you look at the United States as a "business" instead of as a "nation." Importing millions of illegal aliens might make a lot of business sense, and a country that can't (or won't) secure its own borders should not even be considered a sovereign nation, anyway.

The problem from a business perspective is that you'll have a huge influx of minimum wage workers - and all the incumbent social and political problems that go along withy it(more welfare and other government programs and democrat/labor union votes).

A ready supply of low-cost labor also is a disincentive to automate or increase productivity in other ways.

I sometimes think that Bush considers mexico more a 51st state rather than a antion that has it's own responsibilites to it own people. He is permitting mexico to offload it's problems on the US.
