"the flow of illegal immigrants will continue so long as there is no organized and legal way to seek temporary work in the United States"

How about this: "the flow of illegal immigrants will continue stop so long as soon as there is no organized and legal easy way to seek temporary work in the United States and people stop thinking they have to reward these criminals with jobs and government giveaways."

I don't have any fundamental problem with an individual who wants to work for his family.

The problem is that Mexico is so wildly corrupt and inneffective, if they can find work in mexico they stll can't feed thier families.

I'm actually a big fan of invoking manifest destiny in this case. We can call it "Operation helping hand".

Fundamentally Mexico has the potential to be a very prosperous state, its the corruption which keeps it a third world country.
