I might not do anything differently than Jose and Pedro are doing crossing illegally into this country, to be honest--hell, look at Mexico, then look at us. Our slums are their middle-class suburbs! But that doesn't make it right, or legal, or something that we should accept as a fait accompli. If we don't crack down hard on illegal immigration, we might as well just throw the borders wide open, because we're just wasting billions of dollars and a lot of effort if we only go halfway.
If Mexico didn't have a two-thousand-mile long safety valve to bleed off 10% of their population and send $50 billion a year back south, maybe they'd actually get serious about fixing the structural problems in their own society.

***Worth repeating. The fence would actually be GOOD for Mexico.
