Sir Moby, of course legally would be a whole lot better for all concerned. But can they get into the country legally? As a poor Mexican living on the other side of the border, how can you get into America legally? Maybe think about helping them make that transition into legal immigrants instead of coming up with crazy ideas of how to throw more hurdles in their way. Not everything can be solved using brute force.

That is precisely the question that needed to be addressed years ago. Since our economy needs the injection of cheap hard working employees then how can we get them into the country legally? Most of them have to pay someone to help them get across the border so why is that money going to MX criminals when it could be going to entry fees and allow us to document and tax the workers/employers?
I'm not against having the Mexican workers here. I am against having them here illegally and having employers higher them illegally.
Find a way to make it legal and stop this BS about needing to have an illegal, undocumented and untaxed work force. That is simply not true but it is cheap for those that pay off our politicians.
