"The article makes a good case for reducing immigration."
==============================
Your common sense has not left you.
Common sense tells me.
1. Immigration from Mexico is too large.
2. Some type of guest worker program is needed where these workers can be screened for disease and terrorism links.
3. Some Immigration is good. Too much is bad.
4. Fixing immigration will not solve all the nations problems but is just one of many things that need improvement.
