What indeed! We are offered only short term, knee jerk, feel good solutions. The corruption that has gripped Mexico for 500 years has made great headway into our society. Building a great wall along the border will not close this chapter of history. Stationing of our armed forces along the border will have no better success. Sending all the illegal aliens back will not correct the situation. All these solutions place great burdens of finances and resources upon the American citizens for generations to come. And all the while, our soft underbelly is not protected from the grave corruption, but growing more vulnerable.

In our war on terrorism, our two most susceptible target cities for a terrorist nuclear device are outside our jurisdiction, but would wreck extreme havoc on many US cities, and major military installations. Those cities are Tijuana and Juarez, Mexico. No border wall can protect the vast areas that would be affected. Major US cities affected would be San Diego, Phoenix, Tuscan, El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, and depending on the seasonal wind currents, possibly many more Gulf cities.

We need a solution that will end the pilgrimage of illegal aliens across the border, ends the tyranny of Mexican corruption that makes our southern border cities so vulnerable, and offers a real long term solution. The pilgrimage will stop, and our security will be strengthened only when these people have within Mexico what they seek here.
