Additionally, an effective physical barrier is needed from Brownsville to San Diego. Sensors and cameras are only useful when there are enough agents to apprehend the border crossers. Otherwise, they are like cameras at convenience stores, which at most can record the appearance of the lawbreaker. When the illegal migrant gets to Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, or wherever, he will blend into the large immigrant communities. Only a wall will work, and nothing less.
Additionally, the offering of a "guest worker" program will essentially permit those here illegally to stay here. The 11 million number is not realistic, as this number has stayed fixed for years despite massive illegal immigration. Furthermore, absent an effective means to curb illegal entry into the U.S., which the President's program does not offer, uncontrolled immigration will continue, curbed only by the limits of the Mexican and Latin American population who would immigrate.
In two and a half years, the President and First Lady will retire, possibly to a mansion in Highland Park or some other well-protected area of Dallas, living in the country club world that will provide them a safe and happy existence for the remainder of their days. The rest of us, especially in the Southwestern states, will suffer from the inundation of what was formerly an English-speaking, middle class nation and its ultimate conversion into the northernmost adjunct of Latin America.
I wonder if George and Laura will be able to escape to Kennebunkport in time, before Texas becomes the new Mexican state of Tejas? Get enough illegal Mexicans who think the S.W. was stolen from them legalized, and this could become the case.
