Here's the thing: the problem is uncontainable unless the border is fully secured. Let's build a true wall, the most impenetrable thing Armed Forces engineers can craft, and put 48,000 members of the military on the border.

Second, let's require English fluency for everyone who wants to live in the U.S.

Third, lets dismantle the balkanized ESL system which teaches immigrants in Spanish and so balkanizes them and renders them a state-dependent group of Democratic voters.

"Second, let's require English fluency for everyone who wants to live in the U.S."

I remember a situation where a girl came from El Salavador, and she spoke better English than most here. She was in fact, fairly embarassed of her accent, and I offered to help her. Shamefully, I was a rather bad liar or too confidant in my own abilities...I still haven't figured that one out.

Those that come here legally, usually are very good people. Sometimes better than some of our own.

I agree with you on the wall, the military on the border, and English as the official language; anything less will lead to our downfall as a nation.

And also a voucher program so that parents can leave the grip of the balkanizing leftist teachers unions, BTW, who I never hear criticized on these threads.
