It is a very tough problem. There are no easy solutions.
True, but crisis of illegal immigration will only worsen under the present leadership, which has no intention whatsoever of doing anything but encouraging more illegal immigration.
The "reforms" being touted are mere cynical Beltway Speak for the passage of Amnesties with no change in the status quo of keeping our borders wide open and our immigration laws inoperative. In others words Congress, particularly the Senate and the Administration have “zero” credibility on this issue and can be counted on to do the wrong thing.
If our leadership was serious about illegal immigration they would be vigorously patrolling the borders and exercising penalties against employers of illegal aliens. That they don’t, even after the horrors of 911, tells you everything you need about how serious they are in tackling this crisis.
