It'll take a lot to get them to our salaries...They send a lot back home where it goes far...If I had "the" answer..I'd propose it.
I do think we need better border patrol..It's a very long border.
I hate expanding government in any way but I wonder if a new form of border patrol is not in order (On both Borders and all ports of entry)?
I envision a modern border system where we would have forts every so many miles staffed 24/7 by border guards who have the right to detain any and all persons who cannot prove citizenship and can process, hold, and than expel these illegals back across the border. Give them all the surveillance and capture equipment they need. Also make it humane and above all make it a harsh penalty for mistreatment of illegals. I know it would cost billions but I believe it would save us in the long term.
