JB, I have to say I'm with you on this. We've done this to ourselves folks, and JB is right. Look at all of the construction sites going up, and you'll see a large Hispanic presence. And sorry, but I know several Mexicans here (some legal, some I'm sure illegal), and they work their asses off. Meanwhile, I go into work where I'm at, and listen to the hourly guys in the canteen bitching about how bad life is (working in an airconditioned cleanroom earning $15-18/hour), and feel like kicking them right the hell out of their chairs. I think some sort of closure of the borders is going to have to happen, somehow, until we can clean up this mess, and straighten out our process so it DOES work, but I don't see that resolve coming from Congress. Further, "locking down the border with National Guard troops" isn't a viable option, remember, we're still heavily committed in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention along the Gulf Coast, and the Mexican border is not a very small border, so where are these troops going to come from?
