"As you noted, I am skeptical of government being capable of delivering anything of a large scale."

Funny isn't it - America can deliver enough fire power to destroy several countries anywhere in the world within a few weeks, but she can't build a fence and enforce her boarder.

That’s true, but what’s worse, we can’t even turn off the government incentives.

Illegal immigration didn’t balloon to what it was until Welfare was expanded in the 60s. Do we admit that welfare is a failure and that it backfired?

If the benefits are available to US citizens, someone’s going to give them to illegals, which is frustrating. Former MA governor M. Stanley Dukakis had a formal policy of issuing social security numbers to illegal aliens and I’d read a while back that in the state of Maine, state officials work to break the rules to issue IDs and benefits to illegals as well.
