OK, you don't believe in the practical effectiveness of a wall. I do. Focusing on penalties for employers hiring illegal aliens is certainly another major part of a comprehensive solution and I strongly support tough penalties.

I avoid the "root causes" argument, made famous by the left, that undermines practical measures to stop the invasion. "Unfair" poverty can be an excuse for all kinds of lawless activity.

So...you associate me with the Left because I advocate a 'root causes' solution to this particular problem. Tell you what: I'll donate $100 to your effort to get a wall built along the border. If it's such a great idea you should be able to easily convince contributors and politicians very quickly, and raise a Clinton Libarary-sized war chest almost overnight. I'll send my money when I'm convinced you have a real campaign underway: say when you've enlised 20 Senators to your cause and have raised $10 million dollars or get a bill written to finance your project. Until then I'll save my energy, which is wasted by trying to have a rational discussion with someone whose mind is totally made up and closed to new input.
