So, I guess the soft economy isn't such a bad thing after all?:hmm:

Hmm, Mexicans will keep crossing the border! They do not listen! It is time to take for a new plan.

We need to make a brick wall all around Mexico, as tall as a Fortress wall

It is if you like immigrants. The problem isn't the immigrants, its the economic impact of social and welfare programs. Drop those, let them easily obtain legal permission to work here (and be payroll taxed here), and force them to undergo the same gruelling immigration process every other immigrant has to go through.

We would fill low-paying jobs, help industry and generate tax revenue, whilst providing them the opportunity to properly start a life in the U.S.

Do you seriously think that the current crowd of illegal immigrants would consider working here if they had to become citizens and pay taxes? Why do you think they come over here and send all their money back to Mexico?

It is acutally not that grueling of a process. It just takes awhile and costs a hefty fee.

Plus that little technicality about learning to speak the language.

You are only required to learn English if you want the citizenship. if you want a green card (legal permanent resident), you don't need it.

My bad, I thought we were discussing citizenship.

The difference is basically just a formality these days. My guess, most people come to this country, or to any country these days anyways just to work, or for whatever personal reason they might have.
