Wall first the border first, then we can talk about a guest worker program. Until then we have to work on getting initiatives like denying illegal driver's licenses and state benefits on the ballot.

We can't wait till for terrorists to hook up with the smugglers south of the border. Our jails are filling up with illegals and Mexico won't take them back.

How much more do we have to spend on manpower and technology to fight the war on terror and the war on drugs when a simple wall would significantly reduce the flow of drugs and people of unknown origin?

Is it fair for relatively unskilled laborers to just be able to jump in line to reach America before those skilled people who go through?

I want healthy immigration. Ideally we want to do whatever we can to encourage the “brain and skill” dump. We should want the most intelligent and skillful people who want to make America their home(assimilate) and to make America better by using their abilities to their fullest potential. Barring that, we should at least want people here that wish to assimilate and be Americans.
