So you don't like Mexicans coming here legally, and you'd prefer not to have low wage worker Mexicans coming here legally either?

What Sowell seemed to be saying was that it would be some kind of "insult" to say we couldn't "enforce the law," i.e., deport all the illegals if we really wanted to. I'm sure that America could do this, if it had the collective will to pay the cost of doing so. But because we do not have the collective will to do this (just as we lacked the will to enforce Prohibition), it does not seem like "an insult," to me at least, to consider some other ways of dealing with the problem.

I support border security, but not any sort of massive security fence. And I also think that I'm not as worried about the impact of Mexican immigration on our national security and social fabric as you and others seem to be.

A real master of invention, you are.

That's like saying, "I support showers, but I don't support getting wet."
