There's one fatal flaw in your arguments. And it's 1,000 miles long. Even if we offered no programs, no social welfare, nothing to our own people even, (which will never happen and you know it!) Mexicans would come here just to set foot on this precious ground. Any third world citizen craves to stand on American soil.

Many would. Many wouldn't. And what's wrong with them coming here to work? If there were no programs, they'd have to work just like every other immigrant that came here for years. Why don't you just be honest and admit that you just don't want more Mexicans in California?

All of your solutions are like every other Libertarian solution: you demand total capitulation to your ideal system and only then will things function properly.

I'm actually a Republican who understands how the free market and capitalism works. I also am not the one fretting over this issue (if you'll notice, it's you and your totalitarian friends that raise the biggest fuss over this issue) because millions of Mexicans come and go from the US each year currently. I'd just like to see the laws changed so that they could do so more freely and legally.

The status quo is in tatters. Watch the world change all around you. It's coming, and it's coming fast.

Haha. OK. Can you give me some examples of how this is happening? I can point to the millions upon millions of Mexicans that have immigrated here legally and illegally over the last couple decades (and the corresponding booming economy). What have you got to support your claim?

I think you're actually the one who is clueless about markets; it looks to me as if your anarchist ideas about borders are part of what will lead us to totalitarianism here in America; and finally you seem to be just an apologist for a temporary position the Republican party is taking out of convenience this week to get a few million extra votes on no principle whatsoever than to win the election.

Good for you!

It's not free markets or capitalism when billions of dollars are being taken from the taxpyers to support them. Even the Medicare plan which is supposed to be for senior citizens had $1 billion earmarked for illegals' health care. That's Socialism and Communism.
