It is the critical part of this discussion.

And the attempt to somehow smear the distinction between illegal and legal immigration is being done deliberately in this argument.

Sorry, but nobody is being sent to galleys for crossing the border. And I am unaware of a constitutional exception in criminal law that permits one to commit crimes with impunity if you can show that you are poor enough.

I'm not talking about jailing illegals, shooting illegals, or giving illegals parking tickets. We're talking about simply keeping them in their own country unless they can go through the proper channels to get here.

I don't know about guest worker programs, or any of that, or what would work best.

I do know that when you're dealing with a flood, step one is to shut off the water. The border needs to be closed, and a passive barrier is part of that.

There is no other nation on the face of this planet that considers free movement of people into its borders as some kind of natural "right" simply because they want to go there.

Help Mexico? Mexico can help itself by getting rid of the stupid economic policies that are one of the causes of its problems.
