Finally, someone who attempts to understand the "demand" side of the immigration debate.
Too many people only want to address the "supply" side, trying to limit it by building a giant wall. Problem is, if the demand remains high, I feel that even a giant wall will not stop people from trying to get here.
You cannot solve this problem without helping to give Mexicans a good reason to stay in Mexico. People talk all the time about trying to break the communist grip on China by opening up trade and trying to turn the ChiComs capitalist. If we can have so much influence on an economy an entire ocean away, why can't we do what we can to pick up an economy right in our backyard?
In a perfect world, Mexico would have it nearly as good as we do and people wouldn't be risking their lives to try to get here. There's a reason why Canadians aren't trying to swim across the Detroit River.
