Unless the program is so large that any mexican that wanted to come could come easily with a very short wait then there would still be many trying to jump the border. How many mexicans would be satisfied with 3-6 years of high pay work? It seems to me that a fence is the only thing that could make anything short of a totally unlimited (number and time limit) guest worker program possible. Then again I think we're being led towards integration and in that context I can see why a fence would be counterproductive.

Your logic is based on the misconception that employers want to hire illegals. If an employer can get a legal worker, he has no need for the illegal.
