No it doesn't, it institutionalizes the problem. The solution is to bill Mexico for the services provided to their citizens.

Ok, so we bill Mexico for the illegal aliens, Mexico tells us to suck dirt, and then what? We cut their foreign aid? Anyone care to look up how much aid we give Mexico each year? I guess the next step after that is to shut down NAFTA, which was supposed to help strengthen all three countries so that they wouldn't be coming here in the first place.

Strikes me as that is a quick way to go backward, and increase the number of illegals, rather than reduce them.

How was NAFTA going to strengthen the United States? It was a taxpayer givaway to Mexico, that is all.
