That is not correcting a problem. That is changing the definition of the problem so that it appears to go away.

No that is looking at the present situation and a possible re-evaluation of how to do things. I don't think this proposal will do anything at all to stop future illegal immigration. I don't think there is any remedy short of an "illegal immigration martial law" for the period of time it would take to actually round them up followed by militarizing the borders. That is not going to happen as bad as some may want it.

That is quite a pessimistic thought. You are really saying that we can't find any remedy that is palatable to the American public?

I would like to think we are more resourceful than that. There are reasons that people break the law. Most often it is to make more money than they can earn in their homeland. Our lack of enforcement of current immigration laws are obviously not a deterrent. So that suggests several rememdies.

Increase enforcement of our current laws to make it more expensive to come here, and make it so there is less chance that they will earn the desired dollars if they do make it here. If they cannot achieve their goals, they will not come.
