The answer is that there is only one way, and that is if someone who wishes to come to the United States illegally no longer has a high probability of finding a better life here.
And there are two ways for that to happen:
1). Stop providing jobs and benefits to illegal aliens, so they no longer can find a better life here.
2). Legalize illegal aliens so that wages decline, the education and health care system collapse, and then life becomes so miserable in the United States for EVERYONE here than someone wishing to come here illegally knows that Americans have a more miserable life than he or she has in his or her home country so he or she decides life is better in their home country and they stay.
Lance, Number One is not going to happen. If you make it so that employers go to jail if they hire illegals all you will do is drive that sort of employement underground. Theyll still get hired, the houses will still get built, the burgers will still get flipped, the flithy toilets at Hotel 6 will still sort of get scrubbed.
What will happen is some variation of Number 2, but it is not just the US that will get more misrable, it is the entire planet.
Start being honest. More Mexicans come north than either government admits. They do take jobs. (They say Mexicans take jobs Americans refuse to do. This is probably true in some instances. But in the mid"1960s slaughterhouse workers earned twice the current wage for their toil. Now such jobs are held by Mexicans.) They do commit crimes.
They are no longer migratory workers. And it is not seasonal labor. The people walking north are not going home again. Theyll send money home, but they are not going home. They are leaving a failed Mexican economy and a corrupt government. They are doing what all people of done for centuries.
And all the solutions in political play are idiocy. Worker permits? Demand at this moment is certainly the 12 million illegals in the United States today, and it climbs each year by maybe a million more. Open the border? Mexicans would be trampled to death by Asians storming up the open route and, also, by other Latin Americans, those folks the Border Patrol calls OTMs, Other Than Mexicans. Build a wall? The border consists of 1,900 miles of desert, mountains, and scrub, a zone legally traversed by 350 million people a year"the busiest border in the world. Employer sanctions to make illegals unemployable? Fine, then Mexicans go home and Mexico erupts and we have a destroyed, riotous nation on our southern border and even greater illegal migration. In 1910, the Mexican Revolution ripped apart a nation of 15 million souls. One out of 15 died. But 892,000 fled to the United States. Now there are 108 million Mexicans. You do the math when Mexico implodes.
You sure as s*** are going to wish all those infantry divisions in Baghdad were along the Rio Grande when that happens.
