I totally agree with that Bill.

I know that there are detention centers in the U.S.A where they hold illegal immigrants (mostly Mexican).

Maybe a middle ground would be to send those guys home and allow those that are already employed, to stay.

Then, they can start 'beefing up" the immigration procedures to allow those with a family member in the U.S. to enter, with sponsorship.

In the long run, both Canada and the U.S. should be providing those living along the Mexican border with aid to help them build a viable economy. If there were jobs in Mexico, illegal immigrants wouldn't be a problem.

Seems to me its a Continental disgrace that the North should have a much higher standard of living than the South. As far as I can see, there is no reason, other than exploitation of labour, that Mexican's are so poor.

I think this issue is just a 'red herring' to distract U.S. citizens by creating, yet another, division among them.

The solution is mostly bureaucratic. It wouldn't be that hard to solve if there was any intention of ever solving it.
