...the mass illegal immigration problem didn't start until AFTER Congress killed the bracero program in 1965, because whole families started crossing so that the father wouldn't have to risk recrossing the border.

Good point. Even though I'm totally opposed to illegal immigration, I'm not opposed to some type of "guest worker" program as long as it was properly set up and strictly regulated and enforced, as was the pre-1965 Bracero program. As I mentioned in a previous post, I feel that this type of program would be somewhat necessary in the field of agriculture. But I haven't changed my feeling that mass uncontrolled illegal immigration into a particular geographic region can't help but have a negative impact over time.
