You have valid questions, Jack, even if you tone is sarcastic. To all of them I say, we have your situation already. Once people are in the US, they're essentially home free. What I was trying to think of is a way to accomodate those who are hard-working people looking for a better life, just like our ancestors were when they came here. The criminals would still try to cross illegally; but if there are fewer of them, perhaps the BP will have a better chance of actually stopping them.

We already have that in place --- we accept more legal immigrants than any other country --- but many don't wish to wait their turn in line --- they figure by coming over illegally, they won't need to bother with the hassles the legal applicants have and the waiting period. Rewarding those who don't respect the laws is a slap across the face to those who do.

I was born a California native.
I appologize for the heat in my comment, but ,
I can not see a laid back answer to the invasion.
The fact is for the past 30 years the schools as poor as they are in MEXICO have taught the Mexican children that the nasty USA stole Texas & California from "THEM". The fact is most Mexicans now believe it is their RIGHT to occupy this nation because they have been brainwashed to feel it is already their property!
They have no obligation to obey our laws because they are under the opinion it belongs to them!
The current President is blind to the invasion of Mexicans because all his friends in Texas need slave labor to produce their "capital-gains".
I know a strong ARMY along the southern border would deminish the invasion by almost 80% of what it is now.
