Getting a handle on human migration is one part of the solution.

Migration is a symptom of economic and environmental problems. Given the choice, most people would remain in their home countries if work and reasonable living conditions were available. If we had a reasonable guest worker program, making it easy to come and go, many of the people who have been forced to stay and work off the books would happily commute back and forth as migrant workers. I think you'd find that some of the niches occupied by illegal workers now wouldn't be necessary for illegal aliens to occupy--they could go home part of the year, not have to stay indefinitely and support themselves year-round. Those low end jobs could go back to the domain of teen-aged American workers and unskilled uneducated American workers.

So if you are suggesting that the current policy stinks and a more liberal access for Mexican and Central American workers to the American workplace, then I can agree. Stop with the absurd wall along the southern border.

If you are suggesting that we assist with a reasonable environmental/economic remedy in places that in some cases amount to Third World conditions to the south of us, then I agree.

But I suspect you have something else in mind.
