We'll never physically prohibit motivated, creative people from sneaking into this country for economic flourish.

Really? The BP has shifted the migration well to the east of California with a fence and strict enforcement. If this country were serious about border control, we could cut illegal immigration by 90 percent or so by a mixture of a continuous fence, stepped-up patrols and sanctions on employers who hire illegals.

But you're not here to debate the matter of controlling illegal immigration. You're here to call anyone who is opposed to the official neglect of illegal immigration a xenophone or a racist because you are in favor of unlimited immigration. As such, you are an extremely dishonest poster who pushes the limits of the posting guidelines on this forum regarding personal attacks, and are someone who routinely gets threads shunted off to the Smokey Backroom with your flame-baiting.

Because, after all, dealing with this matter does not involve having legislative agenda, like you are demanding from others. Dealing with this issue can be done by simply enforcing the laws already on the books - so you are creating a red herring the size of a whale with your rants here.

I don't think you have the first clue about what the existing laws, effective Administrative rulings, or controlling court precedents are.

I just read an article posted in FR in the last day or so that said that the birth rate in the US last year was the lowest ever recorded. This was the culmination of a long trend in the US of ever decreasing births.

Coupled with that, we have the start of the massive retirement of the baby Boomers, just picking up speed and still quite a ways from reaching its peak.

What this translates into is a serious decrease in the worker to retiree ratio needed to maintain Social Security viable for the Boomers and beyond.

I read a report that the entire working population of Mexico could be brought to the US by the year 2030, and it would not be sufficient to fill in the gap.

Fix Social Security and you have the start of a "fix" for the illegal immigration problem.

The end of the "fix"?

A program that would allow guest workers to travel back and forth across the border to work. This used to be the case, and once it was stopped, the immigrants were forced to remain on this side of the border.
