"a rough correlation with distance"

Well, yeah. Obviously the ability to put on a pair of sneakers and walk into the U.S. makes a lot of difference for Mexico. On the other hand, I don't see Canada on that top ten list at all, so what does that tell us about borders?

Democrats can dance as fast as they can on this, but as with many other uncomfortable realities they'll have to deal with this one:

The vast majority of our illegal immigrant problem is economically-disadvanted young Hispanics pouring in over our Southern border.

Anybody trying to solve this problem while pretending race or national origin has nothing whatsoever to do with it is going to be operating under an enforcement handicap. You can support this handicap or oppose it, but you don't get to pretend it isn't real, or try to bring "Canadians" into it. It's like cops trying to catch criminal Klansmen but not allowed to focus on white people.
